Hi Swingman,

Discounting the fact that "20 or 30 somethings " aren't old enough to have
any "perspective" on how much these things have changed, can you be certain
that the only reason they are "optimistic about things" is that they are
anticipating more SEX?

This is exactly the (my) point.

A that age, we didn't need no stinkin' perspective either.

Now (as old farts) we've got perspective up the wazoo...

;-)
