The Youth Vote

First of all, that is not happening. They will play the game in primaries and such, but will not show up for the general election. The youth have little to gain by participation. In the 70's they had a lot at stake; the draft and the war, but now what do they have? They are not concerned.

CNN did a story about the young and took a poll at NYU and 78% said they would give up their right to vote if their schooling was paid for in full. Now there is a group, a voting block that has its priorities in line. In the last election only 7% of the 18-25 actually voted. They have no reason to be concerned about the future; it is all about the now.

If we want to get these little shits to vote maybe we should use a Huey Long technique and use the slogan, "an X box in every house". This is a pathetic block of voters. But we made them the pathetic little shits they are. I hope we are happy, our future looks bleak.
