Here the young have a mind of their own. They are not always right in their decisions and opinions, but they are raised in the freedom to learn from their mistakes.
Your way is so much better. Why should they need to learn, if all they have to do is follow your ways. What was right for you and your parents, is right for you and your grandchildren. Neh?
For the most part, yes. My granddaughter has done a complete
volte-face about her firmly held belief about the EU. She's 21 and in the final year of a law degree and a more pro-eu committed Remainers be hard to find.
She had all the pro-eu arguments, her personal future in a single Europe, the benefit to everybody to live in a single soon-to-be United States of Europe, the unity is strength thing, the sharing of prosperity equally --- in short the full nine yards.
Mostly I listened might the occasional harumph but not much more, I just let her educate me.
But now everything has changed as she looked into what she had previously accepted at face value.
The way that the Commission works in conjunction with the European parliament. The internal dynamics of the EU Animal Farm but without the good bits. The shocking truth about the ECB and how it is used as a cudgel to control and dominate member states and so much more.
And she is by no means alone. Once again kids are learning that the doddering old oxygen thieves are not the twats they thought.
Perhapse the young folk in Britain are much more able to engage in applying reason based on what they have taken the trouble to learn for themselves than some of the Dutch young folk just swallowed the pro-eu bullshit hook line and sinker.
Add to that the delay caused by the British Conservative party screwing up BREXIT has let them see what an intransigent corrupt thing that is the essence and heart of the EU and review their opinion?
Never mind, soon the EU will be isolated!
