- expects silver-platter entitilement
- is the "I" generation
- shows grammar is not important

perhaps a short list... and on and on....

BUT- THEY will be a HUGE voter group very soon, and our elected officials will take notice.

From what I have heard -on news and such- these 'kids' are idealistic but hopefully will grow in numbers to impact some positive change on this huge national issue. I may not agree with all their demands etc, but good for them to be out there. I sure respect that.

Me too. Our generation had tremendous power when we resisted the Viet Nam war. Hopefully these kids will be able to have influence on important issues of our times.
