Richard Nixon actually said...

We will see youth respect its elders when we show some respect for the opinions of our youngsters.

This is a yawning gulf of irritated boredom between the two halves of our body politic.

Youth today has a right to demand that an older generation live up to two responsibilities: to guide and to listen.

They are more socially conscious, more politically aware, and much better educated than their parents were at age 18.
