I'm beginning to think we need to start electing younger people to office, people with a better understanding of how the world actually works now. These nigh elderly politicians still seem to think the world works as it did 30 years ago and have been unable to come to terms with progress. Perhaps wisdom of age doesn't have the value it once did. I myself have passed the half-century mark but at least I keep up with technology and the world, being in the fast-moving software industry. Still, I think I'd rather elect my kids into office over any of my contemporaries.
