Never let a serious crisis go to waste and what I mean by that is it’s an opportunity to do things you couldn’t do before

A 70 year old man has seen alot of life with two generations he saw before him and three more spout up after him. Whatever he tells you, he will be pretty much on the mark. He knows alot more than any of you youngsters.

Or that same 70 year old man has lost his patience for finding out the balanced truth and joins the opinion of his news channel...
Age does not equal intelligence.edit on 25-7-2011 by derst1988 because: (no reason given)
A 70 year old with a whole lot of life experience beats an intelligent kid without life experience 100 fold.
It is the 70 year old that has watched society change from having no TV to B/W TV to colour TV to the plasmas and 3D. He knows life without technology to having the telex machine, fax machine to email.
He saw the great depression, the end of WW2 to Vietnam, Burma and Korea.
He's worked hard all his life, probably from the age of 12 or 14 dropped out of school and worked 55 years of his life. The new generation does'nt even know what real work is and expects everything handed to them on a gold platter while they deem themselves "academic" and "intellects" when in fact they don't know sh*t from a shoval and thinks the world owes them something.

Hmmmmm, raise your flag once you have worked fulltime for 30+ straight years and only then I'll salute you for all your hard work.
In the mean time, cudos to you...keep it up
