<p>[QUOTE="statequarterguy, post: 2362365, member: 21782"]What you've noticed is pretty much true for all aspects of life, not just numismatics, especially for those with limited education. The older they get, the more set they are in their ways. They've developed a defense mechanism to deal with the crazy world, that works for them. Any challenge to their beliefs, challenges their security. With a limited education, there's no capacity to assimilate new ways of looking at the world. Ever hear, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
