I'm fascinated by the idea that one day I might just be so out of the loop, so old fashioned that I won't really understand the world around me anymore. Previous generations who didn't understand racial or sexual equality weren't bad people, just informed by their own upbringings and confused by new social mores. I worry and I wonder what's going to confuse me and shock me when I'm older. In what ways could the world change that would leave me a bigot? Or will I cope just fine: will I roll with the changes?
What man? Don't you dig the wheel transplants? You're an old-fashioned plod, man, everyone's on wheels now...
