To Some, I'm a Rabble-Rouser

I mentioned previously that Ian’s joined the LaRouche Youth Movement. When he was first telling me about the group, he mentioned an upcoming weekend educational retreat and invited me to attend. Later, he had to uninvited me, as apparently people over 30 are not allowed to attend as they are considered too likely to be disruptive because of they have been too long steeped in the wrong kind of experience. As I’m 36, that includes me.

Ironically, I can just imagine Ian’s outrage had I invited him to something, then uninvited him due to his age. Such discrimination! It’s probably just as well I couldn’t go, because if I had, I’m sure disruptive is exactly what I would have been.
