And
YOUR point is: ????
Is that YOUR perception, or are you speaking for the "younger" people? "Younger" than who? What?
If these people never want to be OLD PEOPLE,
they have the means to never get old. [>:] Their choice. Here I haven't had a young person in a public school for 25+plus years and I still pay taxes in seven counties, 2 states, to help make these "younger people" smart. Strange that they aren't so dumb as to P & M about that!! Maybe it is us older folks that are the dumb ones -- investing in a no pay-back funding.
Hey guy, just telling ya what the perception is. I'm 30, to answer your question.
Look, my point is just the AMA seems grossly out of touch with younger people, say 35 and under. I mean, the current AMA president refused to even campaign or field questions from the Internet during the previous campaign, and if I remember correctly, he used the words "irrelevant" to describe the internet medium.
The AMA is going to die with you old guys if something's not done, that's all I'm saying. Just look at the membership numbers. Numbers don't lie--but people do.
In one sentence you state, ".... the perception is..." yet in another sentence it's "....AMA seems ... out of touch..."
However I will not argue your remarks about the current AMA President. The facts are that far more than one of the old timers were working to change the AMA President in the last AMA presidential election. Where was YOUR crowd? They da_n well did not show up at the polls. You people loaf on your butts, don't get involved in these dirty old politics, yet just fuss when the hand-outs are not made.
Fortunately not all young people are like that. They pick up their rifles and go off to war so the free loaders can run the show. [:@] Something is very wrong with that picture or at least it is to me.
