It's about how Lindsay doesn't feel any responsibility to the next
generation. It's about how Lindsay is in the terrifying new breed of
youth who do what they want and how by doing what they want, they are
risking our survival as a species. Looks like whatever left wing
slant the original had is going to give way to full-on reactionary
youth-ba****ng. "Responsibility", "freedom, "sense of values", sounds
like science fiction as imagined by Cal Thomas.
