There sure are some smart teenagers out there, eh?
Yes, there are; and we should remember such individuals when we sweepingly complain about the lack of respect, values, education, etc. among the youth today. I routinely get e-mails from sharp college students commenting with great insight into complex themes based on very high levels of previous reading and requiring abstract thinking. Upon reading their e-mails, I wonder with astonishment and admiration that someone so young would be wrestling with questions so large! I reflect how, when I was their age, I was more interested in trying to seduce the beautiful brunette with the impossibly long legs sitting one row below me in the lecture hall.
