Youth Wasted on the Young
Timothy Birdnow
True but many of them die in the process, and the young lack the wisdom that comes with experience so often their schemes make a terrible mess.
It used to be that the young were encouraged but educated in the way things worked in the past so they would not make the same mistakes others had made. Sadly now we believe in the absolute brilliance of youth and do nothing to slow down their hot-blooded tendencies. As a result we have them running off half-cocked, repeated mistakes made in the past. Lest anyone doubt that one need but look at the way the younger generation is enamored of socialism, a system tried repeatedly and one that failed spectacularly every time it was tried.

the impossible -- and achieve it, generation after generation."
