Decline of the American empire: The Old Media

Maybe it's just me and I'm getting older. I don't think younger people care. I don't think they ever really cared after the 60's and lets face it, most of the kids who showed up at the rallys in the 60's were there for the drugs and had no real idea what the rally was about. It's the same today. Younger people would perfer to stay home and talk on myspace or text on cell phones instead of watching the news. But the real sad thing is they do not realize that sitting on their asses and doing nothing is not going to help them get anything. I can't wait to see what a home around here is going to cost my nephew in 20 years. When these kids wake up and start paying attention to what's going on and how it's going to effect their lives over the next 20/30/50 years then it's going to be to late for them to change anything. They will be too caught up looking for the next appliance box that they are going to be sleeping in. Or they'll just turn over and go to sleep in the same bed they were sleeping in when they were 5.
