I thought it very curious today as I watched and listened to a young high school student from Mexico City join in a discussion with adults who had migrated to the U.S. from Mexico The young student seemed unable to believe her ears, it seemed, at the reasons and other attitudes expressed by her fellow compatriots toward their native country. However, she came to accept their explanations for leaving and ended the discussion by saying that her generation could be ready to reject the current government's status quo and create a nation that gives people jobs and makes the country safer. I hope she has success in this when she returns to her education in Mexico next September and finishes soon with a medical degree. I tend to believe her efforts because of her sincerity and because by going to the best university in the whole of Mexico she has positioned herself in an influential place.
The generation of people 20 or younger right now will certainly come to power in about another 25 years, and they will have absolutely no influence from the generation I am a part of. I trust the swing generation of those in their 30s and 40s currently have done a good job of leaving the world a better place for them. I'm an optimist. The world gets better by degrees as it turns around the sun. The world seems to be coming together a little at a time. Brave New World will come true someday. Probably not in 25 years, but in about 10-15 of those 25-year periods, shades of a one-world government might surface. Katie bar the door when that happens. What the world won't achieve at that point!
