Quote by: Athena Perhaps your father will protect himself with medication for the stress. Perhaps you can think of something to say, that will help him accept change. Is there another way he stand for what he believes is right, without it costing him his life? Say volunteer to teach children to read, and introduce them to the principles of democracy? Only by educating our young will we save our democracy. That is worth living for. A tactical retreat, so he might win the war, may appeal to him. |
Why do you make such a convincing case for anyone over 50 being too feeble-minded or too stupid to change with the times? I'm sure LetThereBe's old man is smart enough to realize he made a mistake. He'll probably emerge from his six-month vacation wiser and smart enough to know not to try THAT sort of thing again without running to a bottle of frigging Valium.
Just because you're over 50 doesn't mean you can't learn from your mistakes.
