Reply #12: It's because the Governing Class is in control of the Old Media and Old Politics

[Odin2005]

We are getting around them by creating an internet-based New Media and New Politics. The DLC, as beneficiaries of Old Media and Old Politics, opposed New Media and New Politics as a threat to thier power.

Change is coming, but it won't be like the 60's and 70's. The change pushed by the Boomers was mostly cultural and moral rebellion against a stogy, consumerist, and spirit-dead culture. Gen-Xers and us Gen-Yers are overthrowing old, decrepit, and corrupt institutions and replacing them with new institutions more in line with modern realities.
