Sometimes I just sit here in awe of you and the other younger members of this board. I would like to think or I would hope that had the Internet been available when I was your age I would have been much like you. It is a funny thing, what you are talking about. Lack of education is part of the reason and I mean a good education. There have always been folks like you mention but it seems never so many. Having lived through Nixon, Reagan and Bush 1 I can honestly say this is the darkest time I have ever lived through. I might not say that had I been male, therefore draft-able, during Vietnam but from my perspective this is the darkest. I remember the protests then and how it made me feel, much like you are talking about. Something to make you feel good and a little hopeful through all the crap that is coming down on a daily basis. I truly hope that this is the darkest period of history you ever have to live through. I think if we do this right and make these guys accountable it might be. Who knows but you and the others your age give me great joy. If it were not for you all I would feel pretty hopeless.
