Growing up I was taught to respect my elders. It seemed like a good idea. They had been around quite a while, seen quite a bit, and cold share what they had learned.
The older I get, the dumber the whole notion seems. These folks really didn't have any secrets to existence that would make my life better. (Except for when my grandfather told me, "Some women don't like condoms." And when uncle Al told me, "Whiskey all night and polka til dawn!") Getting older really just means being clueless longer.
So instead of listening to our elders I suggest we listen to people in their teens and twenties. Their ideas will be just as stupid, but in whole new novel ways.
