The Heart of the Problem
#5
RE: The Heart of the Problem
Perhaps what older generations see as non-participation is more accurately a shift in perspective and priority? Local, local, local. The general idea being that local change will bring about national change - as an unavoidable consequence. A lateral or bottom up approach, rather than hoping for a top down ultimatum delivered by a single candidate or a handful of dodgy corporate sellouts....either side of the aisle. More than any previous generation, millenials know whats on each others minds...even if they don't fucking want to. We're connected. We live in here just as much as "out there".

Hows that top down stuff been treatin yall older folks anyway, eh? Did it go the way you thought it would, the way you planned?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
