A SNAPSHOT OF ASCENSION AND DECLINE OF GENERATIONS

"Both ascension and decline appear at the same historical moment,  and owe their origins to the same causes." ~Friedrich Nietzsche, Human,  All Too Human  A little comic relief:  In the changing of the generational guard, former President Bill   Clinton looks mad as a hatter,  while President -Elect  Obama looks primed for challenges.

These photos,  of Boomer[generation] Clinton and Thirteenth [generation] Obama (post-Boomer)  show clearly the decline of the former and the ascension of the latter within the Anglo-American saeculum of history.  The Boomer Generation is clearly "losing it":  pouting and sulking;  the rising post-Boomer generation is virile,  and primed for serious tasks.
