Reply #99: It is different now than when we were younger, mostly the draft explains student apathy

[Dragonfli]

It is easier to go to the wall, get arrested, beaten, tear gassed when the alternative is death by draft.
Many students I am sure care, but the passion to be shot if necessary by the national guard over your convictions comes easier when the alternative is being shot in a war.

Not making excuses, just saying the motivation is not the same for this new batch of kids.
