13. Rotten institution reaches out to youth
How many times have I seen the fear factor wedded to an attempt to reach out to youth. That phrase always smacked of a very worried condescension where the generation of power suddenly realizes everything not only will die with them but is dying under their unworthy feet.

These are people who have forgotten the news, the needs of people, their own youth. Making their failure palatable, modified and enshrined for a new generation, these sudden gods of tradition are pitiful arbiters of the future. What future? What past? What news?
