[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is very normal in many ways.  It is normal to feel let down when you realize a parent you adore is human with weaknesses.  I think it is also normal for the older generation to be more limited in their thinking, as they grew up with very limited information.

And, sadly, it is becoming more common for older folks to become a bit more indoctrinated with political opinions, as they often watch news all day and most news programs are either very biased either to the right or left.  [/quote]

Your ageist post is laughable.  The “older” generation read books with much richer vocabulary, including knowledge of history, etc.  Having access to Google does not make you more intellectual.  [/quote]

Published books though can be limiting to a certain voice that gets published. It depends on the person. I agree with you on vocabulary but it could be that many books they read had a similar vibe like watching movies from the same TV channel.  This person has stayed in a small town. I'm sure that limited the voices they were exposed to. [/quote]
