   we're not living in the sixties, or the 20th century, or the 19th century or   
   the dark ages for that matter.  i know 90 year olds with a better grasp of   
   contemporary society than you do, and this makes you incapable of   
   understanding what people here are actually saying, repetitive, and off   
   point.  but you go on feeling safe in the embrace of your out-of-date,   
   reactionary slogans.  personally, i have higher expectations than that.
