Sigh. Spoken like a true teenager. Study the history of the 1960s
for even a few minutes and you'll realize that my generation
blazed the trail for your idealism (yep, I'm a whole lot older
than 20). While I don't expect you to listen, let me state
here for the record that (hopefully) someday you'll understand
that idealism must be tempered with pragmatism in order to be
effective. Shouting "down with the establishment" is all well and
good, but eventually, whether you like it or not, you'll
become that very establishment. Then *you'll* have to deal with
people like you. I hope I'm there to see it.
