Old Farts

One either dedicates themself to lifelong learning or allows themself to become an old fart that dissipates into the air becoming irrelevant.  The only exceptions are Senators and CEOs who maintain enough power to be able to enforce their errant outdated views.  This class of old white fart is currently driving us over the edge in the effort to maintain their office.  The only question is will it be different this time?  Will there be profound consequences to growth as the cure to all ills, ignoring pollution and consuming non-renewable resources at ever faster rates?  I feel a bit like Willy E. Coyote in the Road Runner Cartoons looking down at my feet and discovering no terra firma and seemingly being one of only a few to notice, while my fellow countrymen argue over which old political ideology is going to grow us out of the current financial wreck.
