re: Here there are students in the marches but some of their counterparts belong to the young Republicans and support Bush. The schism runs through them too. And this isn't a schism about war although some try to center it on the Iraqi war.....its about values and the way you run your life. That's why I think its much more serious.

Basically, there are people who think that there are other things that are more important than our democracy whereas the rest of us feel there is nothing more important than our democracy.

From my limited experience (the young people that work for me) there seems to be a political impotence, a feeling that they have no control and their voice means nothing... they say "well they will do whatever they want to do anyway" (whoever "they" is). This defeatism in young people is foreign to me; a significant disappointment. Even outside politics they don't seem prepared for leadership. Being young is supposed to be about ideals and energy.
