3. We are the Elders now.

Sat Jun 6, 2026, 01:48 PM

Saturday

I miss being able to protest in the same manner as I did a quarter- or half-century ago. We were good at sparking the nation's conscience. One of the best things was when the Elders stepped up, and played the role of Elders. Since my mind is young at the same time this bag of bones & lard suffers, I have to accept I actually am old now, and take on the responsibilities of being old, kind of pathetic, but with a heck of a lot of experience to share with those darned younger generations.
