I don't know who Jan Cox is, but this quote reminds me of Douglas Adams.
It is reported that in the galaxy just north of here the young people grew so vicious
and vociferous in their denunciation of the previous generation as being hypocrites
that the elders held a general meeting after which this statement was issued:
“All hypocrisy on our world is the result of becoming over thirty years of age,
and we suggest that the younger generation either come up with a cure for aging,
or else start making themselves bullet-proof now.”
(A reminder that these intergalactic stories can at times be so unreliable as to not rule out
the possibility that this actually occurred in some earthling’s nervous-system.)
--Jan Cox
