<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2362915, member: 36230&quot;]It may be hard for our, gasp, future leaders to grasp, but some old folk actually made it to skool and got da book learnin. We may have had to walk 6 miles (10 to high school and 23 for college) in the year-round snow, uphill in both directions, to get there, but we did make it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Believe it or not, it wasn&#039;t Little House on the Prairie..... short of no computers, and our generally longer attention spans, it wasn&#039;t all that different from today. The earlier fool who so brilliantly implied we&#039;re all a bunch of idiots with &quot;<i>limited education</i>&quot; did nothing more than put his assumptive ignorance on display for all to see.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;We were younger once, and we too thought we knew everything; all too often, the older generations were pitiful fools worthy only of contempt and ridicule. At our then ripe old ages of 15-20, perhaps even 30 or more in some cases, we knew everything there was to know, just like the youth of today, but then a funny thing happened. As we too grew older, the barely able to function morons who came before us, as if by magic, started showing intelligence and became worthy of respect. The things they said and tried to teach us started to make sense, and once even more air left our empty heads, we began to realize that it wasn&#039;t them who were the fools, but us. One can only hope those of the younger generations, the ones with their heads so far up their rears they fail to see there is more to life than their little world, will come out and breath the fresh air. Every one of us, young or old, has the potential to learn something from every single person we come into contact with, from the bum on the street on up. Assumptions be damned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
