Didn't anyone stop to reflect that the so-called old people of today used to smoke pot, for heaven's sake, and wear bandannas tied around their heads and picket the White House? When Amanda chided her for saying that something was "cool" {"I hate it when the older generation tries to copy the younger," she had said}, did she not realize that "cool" had been used in Abby's time, too, not to mention long before?
