Such Arrogance, So Young!

David Hogg's sister thinks young people are more wise than older people, which only shows the arrogance of youth. There is NOBODY at age 17 who is wiser than an older person. Experience "trumps" youth and arrogance. If you've been there long enough to have seen it happen before, you're not surprised to see it happen again. Kids only THINK they're smarter than those who have been around long enough to have gained EXPERIENCE. something a boy of 17 just does not have. At age 17 I thought I knew it all, too. I did NOT. At my current age of 82, I can see all the things I wasn't able to see at 17. Kids are FOOLS to think they know more than those who have been on this Earth for a longer time. And adults who think so aren't too smart, themselves. It's that LACK of experience that makes young people THINK they know more than older people. But don't try to tell them that. They can't hear you beyond their arrogance. Hogg thinks banning guns can make kids safer. He's just buying into the MYTH that getting rid of guns will get rid of crime. A simple look back at a time when there were no guns, while crime proceeded apace, using what tools were available to the criminals, will tell the tale. (Clash Daily)
