Yes, I agree, a sense of duty to behave like a moral compass as it were.
I like the concept of the adult or shall we say, mature, hippie movement
except, whereas the hippies dropped out I think we should, drop in.
Perhaps part of the breakdown we see in our social fabric (don't take
this to be right wing stuff here, I'm far from that, just looking at
things as I see them) is the problem with very young girls trying to
raise children whithout having the necessary experience or knowledge.
        This would be a prime area for some sort of intervention by our
generation, I think, where we could help and where our perspective might
be valued.  So many younger people do not even know how to think about
their lives in five, ten, even fifteen years in the future.  I think they
would benefit from some wisdom from another generation.
        Can you believe it?  The very people who are out shooting it up and
terrorizing civilization were only, say, three or four maybe six years old,
just ten years ago.
        I think outrage can be creative and constructive if we can also
contribute something to these people who are having the problems, something
concrete like someone to call on the phone or read a book to a kid, anyone
have any other ideas?
        I've often thought that the teenage mother would be the point at which
a tremendous amount of good could be accomplished: education so she could help
her own children with their school work, etc.
        What ever happened to the Gray Panthers?  California? The '60's?
        This is great, this list has come to life in the last few weeks.
I love it!
