Do we all reach a stage when we see catastrophes looming because no-one seems to learn from history’s mistakes? In the 60s my friends and I were going to change the world for the better – but it was the future of young people I guess we were really interested in. Middle age brings either world weariness or acceptance – hm, think I’d better stop as I’m just making myself miserable!
