Isn't that odd?

"Thing with activism, you see, it's okay when you're young, but when you get past your mid-30s it's possible to tire of being the angry bloke who's always trying to persuade people that things *aren't* all right the way they are".

Oddly enough, when I was young I never was much for activism. But now, when my mid 30s are a fading memory I am. I think it's because i have come to realise that my generation (the baby boomers?) and which broadly includes the chimp and his poodle - are first class s**ts and I won't stand for it.
