  • Very good point, and I did not intend to make an argument about generations being different. Generations indeed consist wholly of individuals with their own opinions. On an individual level, age is no better an indicator of personality than your zodiac sign.

    In my comment I just wanted to express that, after a long period of dread, I am feeling more hopeful after seeing so many members of the young generation getting engaged and making a difference where I personally feel we failed.

    It was also meant to express appreciation and gratitude to those who are getting involved and as encouragement to those who are yet to do so.





  • For one, the United States lacks a good press corps of independent journalists with broad reach.

    Everything is either politicized or commercialized. Shock value sells. Balanced rational discourse does not. Polarization makes too much money for too many people.

    On top of that, a systematic destruction of education and a stranglehold of religion practically makes ignorance inevitable.

    Maybe we could repair it, but it would take Republicans being blocked from making any decisions for several decades at this point.
