Youth Re-enactment


Many middle aged men participate in Civil War Re-enactments. The participants, who for the most part have never seen combat, reenact battles and skirmishes and upon completion feel more empowered.

I have just finished a week of Youth Re-enactments; middle aged men dress up as medieval Japanese courtesans and spend a week listening to geriatric instructors filling their minds with illusions of power. It is a sad spectacle.

At least it had a pretty backdrop.
