Brings to mind an issue of hypocrisy: a guess at my age range is couched (multiple times) in a way that suggests young people are unqualified to have a reasonable opinion on politics. Yet a single 17-year-old's opinion is viewed as representative of an entire nation, simply because it fits what certain people want to hear. Even if it goes against a majority of accounts to the contrary. BTW I'm nowhere near 17...above not below, you jokers. ;-) Edited by cybermace5 March 23, 2003, 11:21:13 PM EST Re: who do 17yo worship here? eminem whaddya expect? Hmmm...good point.

Today. That will be Iraq in a year. And kids like that will be the "Freedom Fighters". Rather than being so blind and dismissive, understand why he believes what he does.

So what--their 17 year-olds will dry-gulch our 19 year-olds at first opportunity. it's going to make for a long, bleak occupation. Incidentally, I have found condescending to the young to be one of the one of the profounder unexpected consolations of middle age. cordially, "Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist."
