My daughter, who recently graduated, pointed out that the polarization of politics ran real deep on her campus. While people who speak to one another about the war or their detsst for the boooosh regime, that speaking out was somehow either wrong or would invite trouble. Give "credit" to Horowitz and his thought-nazis who have turned open political discussion on college campuses into a liability.
She also pointed out "out of sight, out of mind"...many of her friends don't want to talk issues...especially Iraq...and her reason is "guilt". That many of her friends know that if they didn't have parents who could afford to pay for college or were born in a different circumstance, they'd be in Iraq right now.
Honestly, I don't think many in college don't take a serious look at the real world, because they don't need to. Why concern yourself with problems that are miles from your door. Now, when they hit "the streets", lets see if that myopia continues.
