you might be right but 40-some-odd years is a tiny amount of time.

Sure, relative to the universe, but it's more than those who haven't had idealism beaten out of them by the world.

[pasquinelli]

no, not relative to the universe, relative to recent history. 40 years is not much in the context of history, which is the topic. your life experience is small and unimportant at the world-historical scale.

So what are you, 200?
