Part of the problem, as I see it, is that the aging maturation and experience process is taking much longer than it did with your generation. When a kid can live in their parents' basement and still get health insurance until they're 26 then the process of getting real world experience takes longer. I will say this, though...you've been my age once but I've never been your age. You've lived through and seen more life and change than I have. I put a lot of weight in your experience and hope that what you're describing will happen.

Was it Winston Churchill that said "If You Are Not a Liberal at 25, You Have No Heart. If You Are Not a Conservative at 35 You Have No Brain"?
