89. I have some hope
I am a graduate TA in history at an unnamed university and I'm not supposed to talk about politics(for fear of losing my job should someone complain). But I have to say, that when I can have an intelligent conversation with my students about history, I do have some hope for the future. Yeah, some of my students walk around with coach purses that could pay my rent for a few months or drive cars I could only dream of, but the point is is that this is precisely the age group that politicians need to tap into. One of the reasons I never voted when I first turned 18 is because I felt like not a one politician paid any attention to my age group.
