…..feeding the dinosaurs. I call it “feeding the dinosaurs”. Funny expression, I know, but I’ve really grown to like it and gleefully embrace these three simple words. To wit, such behavior entails bowing to and being overly deferential to the gods of the past. Saluting the past. Looking to the past for every correct answer. Kowtowing to the past. Worshipping the past even. Triaging the past over the present and, more sinisterly, over that treasure chest of hopes and dreams for the future which, naturally, means selfish, highly immature people who behave this way and think in this fashion effectively prioritize their wishes and lives over those of their children and grandchildren. Now let me ask you this: How onerous is this type of egotistical behavior?!?! How self-centered and self-indulgent can people get where they actually believe their personal welfare and continued existence supersedes that of their progeny?!?! HOW REPUGNANT AND REVOLTING AND DETESTABLE AND DOWNRIGHT LOATHSOME……….?!?!?! And yet countless doddering relics defy common decency and seem to believe their continued presence on Earth’s surface is the most pressing problem facing humanity…..
