The “generation gap” is an important social tool for any repressive society. If the younger members of a community view the older members as contemptible or suspect or excess, they will never be able to join hands and examine the living memories of the community, nor ask the all-important question, “Why?” This gives rise to a historical amnesia that keeps us working to reinvent the wheel every time we have to go to the store for bread.
