The Revolution

Something I have been noticing in the last few months is that people of all ages are talking more politics then they have for some time. There is a particular spirit that can be seen in the youth that includes a wide spectrum of revolutionary ideas. These ideas are not only attributed to one party or group. It seems as if a new generation of people are coming into the realization that they are beginning to have the power to make decisions that will affect their lives and the future. These political ideas are substantially different-in some cases-from each other and from the political ideas and theories of past generations. This could be a natural occurrence that has happened throughout history of generational torch passing that is only now occurring to me because I'm included in this group of youths. While a possibility, I rather think that the political realm of ideas and the potential for enacting such ideas into practice is at an apex. America is not the same country that it was in 1776, but some of the same spirit is alive in 2008-and arguably similar revolutionary ideas. The best way to sift through these ideas is by debating over current and alternative policies/directions/futures. So I would like to see this blog be used to cover any and every topic. Get ready because it just might be revolution time.
