<p>I must admit I was sort of depressed at a college on CC that is undergoing a groundswell of student activism. They have a web site, they march, they wear t-shirts, they write letters. The catalyst? A crack down on frats and drinking by the administration. <strong>sigh</strong></p>
<p>Maybe kids feel the same thing many adults feel - helpless in the face of so many big scary problems, inability to connect with (or even identify) caring or honest governmental representatives, uncertainty about their own futures, outright confusion at the general state of apathy in the country. </p>
<p>Or, maybe they're simply so intent on having fun, or getting ahead, or making money, or making grades, that they are oblivious. (Gee, I wonder where they get that from?)</p>
