And vice versa. Different times, different people, different styles. Last week, a bunch of students took over the president's office at Penn to protest sweatshops. Ok, so there were only a dozen or so of them, but still, that's good news, right? Way back when we were young, it was pretty alienating to listen to geezers tell us we didn't live up to the standards of the 30s, wasn't it? Now that we're geezers, let's not do the same.
