But it never happens, does it? And you know why?

Because the old are wise enough to make sure it is only their sons and daughters who take over when they are passed it.

A discussion on whether the young are worthy, only goes to prove Plato's point.

You are young, my son, and, as the years go by, time will change and even reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain therefore awhile from setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters. – Plato

This looks like the first shot in a touch of political agitation for an "Over 50's Forum", where the wise can sit in judgement on the rash young bloods.

I'm for it.

That's us, TM!

Here's one for the under 50 crowd:

If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti

But even if it does happen... it's a never ending cycle, so in the big picture, does it really matter..?

Because the old are wise enough to make sure it is only their sons and daughters who take over when they are passed it.

But the young still rise and cast down the old...

"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us."

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. - Isaac Asimov

"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."

"An intellectual is a person who has discovered something more interesting than sex."

English novelist and critic, 1894-1963

I guess I'm destined to be a pseudo till my d*ck falls off.

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done. - Ronald Reagan

you seem to be spending a lot of time on message boards and posting a lot of citations for a so-called "intellectual", even as a pseudo one

Shouldn't you be reading books or study "terrorism" in the real world ?

here is one to pounder upon. I am sure once you get it translated, you will understand its full meaning.
