The Adults Have Left The Room

In the last 7 years it has become increasingly apparent to me that the adults (WW II Generation) have left the political room. In their place a rising tide of graying teenagers who are content to win their political battles by being the loudest voice instead of the wisest. If this approach to political discourse sounds familiar it should. It is the same tactic baby boomers used in the 60's but without the moderating influence of the older generations. How this round of national strife will sort itself remains to be seen but my advice is to hold on to your hats because it is going to get bumpier before it gets smoother.
