I understand the frustration with the catholic politicians who are admittedly older folks and the criticism is correct, but you're getting awfully close to senior bashing when you talk about Boomers as a homogenous group. Biblically, ELDERS were honored for their wisdom. I hope you don't feel the same way about your parents and grandparents as some of your opinions on the podcast about older folks.
This show disappears at 34 minutes when they go to talk about schools in Oklahoma
