The Kids Don't Like It

I have seen a huge rash of bulletins on Myspace lately all talking about questioning the current government and political activism. I usually cringe at these sort of posts. They typically are very one sided, under researched if not borderline conspiracy, and very often do little more than fire off insults at the Bush administration. But these have been a little different. More like rallying calls to our generation to start looking around and really participating in the democratic process. I also know some of the posters well enough to trust their intentions and judgement on these topics more than the next guy. I hope this is a trend that continues to grow amongst the younger generation. Heck, maybe someday it will even be cool to be into politics.
