Well, it's dead-on right. The relative size of the elder population will grow into a disaster. Hopefully, however, the rightwing stoneheads of the boomer generation will be leaving soon, thus shifting the orientation of the remaining base to the left.

What I'm concerned about as I grow older is the growing hostility of the young towards the old. Their attitudes show the hopelessness of recent generations - and their boundless savagery. I think we desperately need to keep younger Americans connected to their elders - failure to do so will lead to some of the darkest chapters of American History.
