Over the 60s vs Under the 40s: I'm 50.

The Daily Yomiuri reported: "Mayors of 43 municipalities in Osaka Prefecture on Thursday opposed Osaka Gov. Toru Hashimoto's fiscal reform plan." (The Daily Yomiuri, Friday, april 18, 2008, p.2) "Opposed"? As I watched the scene on TV news show, the situation rather looked as if they were bullying him, or waging an intergenerational war against their younger generations. I wonder why they are not worried that their opponents might take eye-to-eye countermeasures.
