(802 posts)It is comforting to see passion and caring by the generation that must now take the baton for trying to make the world a better place. You do have a different fight, times have changed and the engines of status quo have grown stronger. As long as your heart is in the right place and you care about other people (especially the disenfranchised), the protection of Mother Nature, fighting the influence of money on our Government and the effects of Corporatocracy on our world, you are doing the right thing. Although our fights were at different time, we fought for many of the same things. Learn from our mistakes and successes. Be smart about it because with the information age a big mistake could make you less effective for a long time.
Power to you! You definitely have this old timer's support!
