My apologies to young people who are informed--personally I think most young people are INFORMED it is they just are NOT responding correctly and have a rather jaundiced view of politics.

I mean, when a young person who tells me they don't bother to vote--I usually don't lie to them and say, 'oh it's important and the foundation of our democracy--it's your CIVIC duty--you don't want OTHER people to decide for YOU, do YOU?!!'. I usually say, 'kewl, neither do I'

In essense, they are probably more correct in 'ignoring' the system because the system doesn't work anyway and can snidely point out to 'previous' generations of young people and their self-serving and ineffectual attempts to 'change the system'.

At least FORMER 'young people' had jobs and could afford to move out of their parents' home...
