Dec 14 2012: To address the initial part of your comment, my sentence in it's entirety was: "Again I would avoid making generalisations about elders doing things for good or bad reasons." What I'm trying to do is post a radical idea and then look to discuss and debate it to figure out my standpoint on it and maybe see other people question their own point of view rather than being too dogmatic.
Dec 13 2012: I haven't posted a bio for a good reason which is that people will automatically make assumptions as to what I think or what my level of knowledge is which irritates me when those who do that judgement can rarely make coherrant argument themselves
Dec 13 2012: Again I would avoid making generalisations about elders doing things for good or bad reasons. At the end they are people and made successes and mistakes. What I'm trying to say is that the particular group of elders have made far too many mistakes and shouldn't be allowed to make more.
Dec 13 2012: I don't like making generalisations about any class of people. Talking about historical generations doesn't further this idea because I'm talking about resolving the damage done to the planet and society rather than allowing it to be further damaged by those who currently hold power.
Dec 13 2012: Narrow mindedness certainly but I would assert that being reactionary (that is, to try and force the problem backwards) is more inhibiting than being proactive: moving the goalposts so that the problem is no longer a problem.
Dec 13 2012: I fully understand the concepts, it is a topic for discussion, not some trolling comment or even my actual view. Present an argument rather than bashing the question.
Dec 12 2012: That is the crux of my argument, should we not therefore be allowed to use that energy and that more political standing rather than have it squandered during the years of education and the turbulent time between education and employment?
