> \*\*As an aside, this is why I really _loathe_ the way our society seems to clump people up so strictly by age–one is a pre-schoolerer, middle-schooler, teenager, college kid, twenty-something and so on and so forth, and many kids grow up to be totally socialized by other kids, not by people that are older and younger than them. This sort of incestous grouping keeps people from being exposed to other points of view, and protects them from social censure at an age when it makes a big impression. \*\*

You are so right.
