After the radical optimism of the sixties the seventies were disappointing and the eighties were heartbreaking but by then we had kids to feed and, if we were persistent and fortunate, a job we could sometimes believe in. Then, before we knew it, we had grandchildren and everyone thought we were old. Like a blink even though we didn’t give up believing and now, I believe in the new generation. We’re leaving them a heck of a mess but we lost more battles than we won, and believers didn’t get to be the rich class.
