Fri, 31 Aug 2007 13:24:56 +0000 http://wordie.org/words/hypocrisy#comments http://wordie.org/words/hypocrisy#comments It is reported that in the galaxy just north of here the young people grew so vicious<br />and vociferous in their denunciation of the previous generation as being hypocrites<br />that the elders held a general meeting after which this statement was issued:<br />“All hypocrisy on our world is the result of becoming over thirty years of age,<br />and we suggest that the younger generation either come up with a cure for aging,<br />or else start making themselves bullet-proof now.”<br />(A reminder that these intergalactic stories can at times be so unreliable as to not rule out<br />the possibility that this actually occurred in some earthling’s nervous-system.) <br />--<a href="jancox.com">Jan Cox</a> Fri, 31 Aug 2007 13:18:51 +0000 http://wordie.org/words/hypocrisy#comments
