And telling young people that they're crazy for noticing these things isn't going to help either. I'm not old, but I can't call myself young anymore, and I understand now that if I live to a reasonable life expectancy, I'm probably going to see some shit. I can't imagine tacking on a decade or three to that; I used to envy children born after me for the advances they'd live to see, but now I feel nothing but sorrow for them, and I'm so relieved that I never had any.
