4. It's always the young people.

I went to the most protests in high school, and there were always mostly other people that age there. Not strange. The young have the least sense of ownership of the system and are most likely to really, honestly question the existing set-up.

7. At that age, I didn't give a shit about politics.

Great to see this generation getting educated and active so young.

maybe 10% of 'em learn something/look it up. Get that edumacation on what they're involved in...

I'll take a fraction of them getting involved at that age.

Plus...*whispers*...what better way to intermingle with hawt chicks than during a protest, eh?
