7. That's just what the mass media programs young people to be now!
There's lot's of signs that an alternatively informed counter-culture is now brewing among the "Internet Generation", but it may not have reached everywhere yet....Kansas and New Mexico still have a ways to go before we hit the new groove!:yourock:

I think Dean might have done better than Kerry among young people in the West.

9/11 truth vs. the 9/11 cover-up is also a very powerful issue for young people, even when it's unconscious. 9/11 was an unforgettable early emotional experience for many young people, yet the official story that TV told was largely false. Then 9/11 was used as the propaganda center of an agenda that Sacrificed the future of young people. The truth is out there on the internet if you wanna surf for it...but none of the major Democratic contenders dared to oppose the Republican's propaganda myth and make a clear stand for truth and justice. This created a kind of infinite alienation...fuel for a progressive counter-culture, but none of the Democratic canidates really knew how to tap into that during the 2004 election.
