In reply to the discussion: U.S. minorities on pace to be majority in months, not decades [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)49. K&R. Reminds me of part of this song from 1982, strangely enough:
New World Man by Rush (Canadian band)
He's a rebel and a runner
He's a signal turning green
He's a restless young romantic
Wants to run the big machine
He's got a problem with his poisons
But you know he'll find a cure
He's cleaning up his systems
To keep his nature pure
Learning to match the beat of the old world man
Learning to catch the heat of the third world man
He's got to make his own mistakes
And learn to mend the mess he makes
He's old enough to know what's right
But young enough not to choose it
He's noble enough to win the world
But weak enough to lose it
He's a new world man
He's a radio receiver
Tuned to factories and farms
He's a writer and arranger
And a young boy bearing arms
He's got a problem with his power
With weapons on patrol
He's got to walk a fine line
And keep his self-control
Trying to save the day for the old world man
Trying to pave the way for the third world man
He's not concerned with yesterday
He knows constant change is here today
He's noble enough to know what's right
But weak enough not to choose it
He's wise enough to win the world
But fool enough to lose it
He's a new world man
Learning to match the beat of the old world man
He's learning to catch the heat of the third world man
He's a new world man, he's a new world man
We are almost there after being detoured so often. The world unites within us, as was planned. And it is good.

I think he's pushed by the more brutish members of his party and that's why he's a wreck.
