I think I had a pretty significant impact on my mother and fathers thinking and still do. Conversely they have a large impact on mine. I don't think age is an indicator of rigidity of thought. There are plenty of young people that are stuck in their thinking no matter how illogical and there are plenty of older people that are constantly open to new ideas. My father is open to new ideas and likes to learn. He listens to people. I think that's what all this boils down to, people either do or they don't listen to others. -REALLY listen actively. Old and young alike have problems with this.

for the record, I like how you handled it Steve.
