On today’s show, it's a battle of Generation X versus millennials versus Generation Z as Sarah and David shout, "You kids get off my lawn!" But before the cultural rant, they explore parental rights in public schools, discuss the mixture of church and politics, and talk about the Kyle Rittenhouse case and the law of self-defense. Then, and only then, does Sarah lament "kids these days."
Show Notes:
-TMD on ‘gain of function’ research
-NPR “The Johnson Amendment In 5 Questions And Answers”
-French Press “When the State Kinda Sorta Parents Your Child”
-Andrew Fleischman Twitter thread on the Rittenhouse case
-New York Times “The 37-Year-Olds Are Afraid of the 23-Year-Olds Who Work for Them”
All commentary on 'generations' of people needs to fall in a ditch and die. The number of people in these groups is too broad and multifaceted to precisely make *any* claims about them. If you wanted to subdivide into Upper-Class Harvard Grad Students maybe you could find interesting trends, but simply lumping the *millions* of a generation into any particular trend line is incredibly dumb. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
I’ve been prosecuting for almost 30 years and a defense lawyer gave me his method of evaluating whether or not he had a good self-defense claim. He would ask two questions:
1) Did the “victim” need killing?
2) Was my client the man for the job?
A yes to both questions meant the defense was at least arguable.
