We don't even celebrate that. We celebrate the signing of the

I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is 
always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is 
wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the 
old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man always 
attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid.
