I'd like to say that I think the same is true of me, but make it the 1770s. But that would be not only geeky, but also pretentious, atavistic, and generally silly; the kind of thing one might hear on a college campus or a gun show and, in either place, said by someone who elicits sighs and the turning of backs.
Guess that makes me a de factor child of the 60s, huh? I have, in my defense, developed a reasonable fear of would-be World Savers and discovered that the world is pretty good at turning, and all signs point to its continuing to do so.
Still, I miss activism. Optimistic fatalism's less fun.
