Don't give my opinions too much value. I'm older and am just worn out. I remember talking to my mom (she's almost 90 now, pre-Boomer, super progressive) about this topic a couple years ago. She said when she was younger, all her friends talked about how once the older generation dies off, things would change. She brought that up because I was talking about how I was hoping that when all these old geriatric vampires die off, things would change. It's like old people bitching about back in my day...

I've pretty much become comfortable with the fact that the job, that of being a politician, just attracts the worst people, regardless of age. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, and for once it does seem like the younger generation is not following lockstep with the previous generations. Maybe because things have become so bad, it's impossible to fall for the same bullshit that my generation did. I do hope things turn around.

But as the old saying goes, you can shit in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up first.
