early 1970s, backpacked halfway around the world – a cheap hotel was a luxury, mostly camped in an old-fashioned pup tent – rarely stayed more than a day in the same spot – never left a piece of trash – no doubt some people hated us: my girlfriend and me – what an adventure it was – came home and got advanced degrees and adult lives – problem is this: some people never grow up, probably because there’s no incentive to do so – what’s wrong with a society that offers no such incentive, and children blinded to opportunities
