A cautionary tale

[davewitley]

When I was in my teens, my Dad took us to see a film he had seen at 
14 when it came out, assuring us it was the most hilarious thing we 
would ever see.

The film was Hellzapoppin, and it came out in 1940.  After we'd seen 
it, even my father admitted it was dire.

The moral?  Why should our kids take any interest in what we did when 
young, unless we show appreciation of what our parents' generation 
liked?  As long as we lap up entertainment celebrating the youthful 
overthrow of a stuffy older culture, we will end up being overthrown -
 and probably rightly.
