These are some of "our" DU youth. Notice the intelligent and articulate posts of this 12-20(ish) age group. Their education, talents, and interests are awe-inspiring.

Now, if you can stomach it, compare the quality of these "kid's" posts to, er less-liberal/progressive posts at other sites by (presumed) adults.



Edited to add: I didn't want to hijack their thread so I posted here.

1. I know

I just read the youth thread as well. I wanted to post but I didn't wanna hijack it either.. hehe.

I was sitting here reading the thread and in awe at this group of young folks. As young as 13 years old! In a democratic, politics forum! Can you believe that shit? Amazing. I remember being in my teens, not knowing squat or caring about politics AT ALL.

I am very proud of the young people on this web site. Here's to the DU youths!!! You make me proud!! :yourock:

3. I am in awe.

Kids are so smart these days - at least a million times smarter than I was at their age. Respect to all of our young DUers!
