I like Larry Kramer's version better. I think Pliny the elder is also the one
who said, kids today just aren't like they were in his day. He also said, and
this is from a Pliny quote site, "In these matters the only certainty is that
nothing is certain." I always thought that was Nietzsche, Nothing endures but
change. Not really the same.
