The hypocrisy bugs me too, which is why I usually try to aim my ire fairly well. I'm also coming from a political environment in which the same age bracket is vastly worse than the American one, even though I consider the latter unacceptably low too. That's one of the reasons I've got Prime Minister Stephen Harper sucking up my country's global goodwill and raising taxes on the lowest income brackets right now, and I freely admit to being sore over it.

Folks who spit on the entire age bracket for being unconnected fools are fools themselves; that big chunk that lie to themselves about why they don't vote (a few of my friends have said they refuse to vote until they see a candidate worth voting for. I found one in their riding, pointed him out, watched him meet with their approval, and they didn't vote anyway because "meh"), or who are indifferent enough not to have political opinions? They're fair game.
