This is something worse than apathy This seems to catch the attitude of the article and of course I disagree. People care as much as ever about their government. In some ways they care more since there have been shifts in power from democratic congress with republican president to the reverse. That makes people feel that they can change things and so they are less apathetic. A year ago everyone assumed ... I think this is the real message. Times have changed. The generation that fought WWII is growing elderly and influence is passing to the post war generation. That generation does not speak with one voice and with any shift in power there will be back and forth movement of the dominant positions. At the current time that influence is squarely in the center, Bill Clinton and Al Gore represent the alliance of those who opposed the war, but not too radically, and those who fought in the war, but probably would not like to repeat the experience. This is the real core of America now and it is likely for the next 20 years or so. TP
