It's demographics somewhat. The Baby Boomers sheer numbers made them a force to be reckoned. Then there's my generation - the "Xers" (I'll stick with the original Strauss & Howe definition and say you had to be born between 1964-1975 to be an Xer, no matter how much the news media gets it wrong), the Xers were numerical far smaller than the boomers, hence our choking on the detritus of their culture, our inate cynicism, and unfortunate political apathy. However Generation Y - sons & daughters of the Boomers are a pretty large number, bigger than their parents and they are just now hitting 18 and their abouts in numerical force. There are not apathetic because a) they want to fuck up their parents and b) they have the numerical superiority to do it.
- the Baby Boomers have let us down for sure....robotron3k
