When new power and ideas are emerging, often there's a false and dangerous attempt to define the matter in reaction, to make it a matter of foolish youth rebelling against their elders, when this 'situation' has no reality in fact and lives young and old hang in the balance
Take myself: You think your last President was the grey-haired Barack Obama, which it was... but his decisions and Presidency were defined by a number of influencers... few of whom in simple truth had the singular impact that I, with the help of my friends and allies, did and do.
We are very old... We have carried the heavy sky of nuclear war and peace, threaded the titanic needle of politics and commerce... Watched as men and companies thrived and died on our responsibility....
Truly influential youth leaders always work with seniority, or they/we would have no influence. But it makes our bloood boil, having served our nation and strived for 'the promised land' - Martin Luther King, to be referred to as boys or dismissed as nothing.. by those not even privy to the classified matters of which they speak
