Wow, seems i missed a bit of discussion here...

I find peopel in my generation (Y) (ii'm born 1985) seem to fit into 3 o so catagories

The we-want-to-do-somthing: People who actaully do give a damn, resposible for the recent sociality/green uprising, i guess i fit into this catagory more than any, although i don't see pure socialisim as the answer i feel its better than the soulless capatilist system we have at the moment, small changes have an impact, im' not for the whole fuck-the-system thing.

The lets-go-back-to-the-1950s: I find this highly disturbing, large number of scared individauls feeling a distinct lack of security who are being draged into this kind of hardcore-christian group that seem to think everything was perfect in the 1950s when everything jsut wasent' talked about, coz obviously if we don't talk about its not there......

THe I-don't-care: By far the biggest, they refuse to ahve nayhting to do iwht the future, they refuse to see, they refuse to aknowledge were thigns are going, jsut close thier eyes, bury their heads in the sand and become MBA's......

Yea, i'm young, bitter, cynical and acidic but goddamn, there is a good reason for it, i think things CAN get better but it requires people to actually give a damn in large numbers, in the last 2 biggest elevctions(US and Britan) around 50% bothered to turn up, that is just.....scary that HALF the population jsut DO NOT CARE who runs the country, what happens......

I was there at the S11 protest, because it was for a dman good cause, the WTO is a virtual oligarchy, a incredible concentration of power and wealth into an organsiation that is neither transparant or open, and it must be stopped.
