23. Young activists are the hope and future of the country
and the world. So are old, middle-aged, and every other -aged activists.

Some on DU say we have to have a military draft to get young people to wake up. Some say it's hopeless to expect young people to do anything, so why should we bother? I say we just need to keep getting the truth out, and young people will respond. Not all of them, of course--but many will. And their voices are powerful.

I am very encouraged by this report. Maybe some of the cynical, defeatist old farts need to get out of the way and let the young people lead for a change.
