Summary

This quote suggests that older people criticizing and disapproving of younger generations is essential for their own well-being. By finding fault in the youth, it keeps older individuals mentally active and engaged, allowing their thoughts and opinions to flow freely. Thus, this critique serves as a form of mental exercise or stimulation, metaphorically improving their blood circulation. The quote implies that this denunciation is not meant to harm or discourage the younger generation but rather as a beneficial process for the elders.

This is Democratic bedrock: we don't let people lie in the ditch and drive past and pretend not to see them dying. Here on the frozen tundra of Minnesota, if your neighbor's car won't start, you put on your parka and get the jumper cables out and deliver the Sacred Spark that starts their car. Everybody knows this. The logical extension of this spirit is social welfare and the myriad government programs with long dry names all very uninteresting to you until you suddenly need one...
