I remember that day. I was living in San Francisco but working on the Peninsula. Heard about it on the radio in my car. Pulled over to the curb and cried.

3. We all recognize the righteousness and enthusiasm of youth. It is both a blessing & a curse at times

I respect the hell out of the Stoneman Douglas advocates, but sometimes it pays to listen and learn from others and learn THEIR stories as well.

regarding the Assault Weapons Ban. If he knows and still posted his crap tweet he should be ashamed. He needs to apologize.

Fortunately he is getting mostly push back here -

5. Like many of that generation, they neither know nor care what was past.

If it happened before they can remember, and/or it wasn't covered on youtube, instagram, snapchat, twitch, vimeo, or periscope, then it doesn't exist.

They come to the same realizations we did 30 years ago, but they treat it like the second coming of christ because it's their own idea. Somehow the ideas are better and truer, only because they came to the idea anew (to them).

They expect adoration and attention because they haven't a fucking clue that what they've just discovered is neither novel nor as simple as they imagine.

And god forbid anyone point that out to the little darlings.
