I'd like to thank you all for encouraging peace and tolerance at a time when it was badly needed. And unfortunately it is needed today, but we (the youth) are apathetic and lazy. I adore all of you who lived and learned the Flower Power movement.
Thank You to everybody who experienced the Hippie Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
That's sweet, but don't JUST idealize the past -- do something to improve the future.
If you think your generation is "apathetic and lazy", do something to mobilize it.
There's a VERY important election coming up, maybe you could work on getting some of your peers to the polls...
Reply:The history is pretty much repeating itself. Vietnam and Iraq are very similar wars...unfortunately, like you said, teenagers today, for the exception of a few, do anything. When I listened to too much John Lennon and went protesting, all my friends chickened out. I can't even figure out why people don't stand up for what they believe in...sad...and most just wear peace shirts, but don't do anything to bring peace.
I think that they need to show body bags on TV again, like during Vietnam war, so people could realise what is happening, and maybe get off their asses and fight the man.
Reply:the youth today are boligerant.but you are right they need to take a stand on our government.not saying its all bad just the money grabbing
