Chesterton has another nice quote (which I will let you all find) to the effect that: the young man thinks the old man is wrong (and he is indeed) ... but the young man is wrong about what is wrong with him. of course GKC puts it much better than I do.

GKC> I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him.
