I'm going to get high, high, high - Will your generation change the laws?

[Danked]

What worries me about my generation is that we're so oblivious to what goes on in the world. If we had to deal with something like Vietnam today, too many of us wouldn't care one way or the other about what was going on over there. We wouldn't be protesting out in the streets nor would we be itching to go and fight. We're mostly apathetic because we've been conditioned to have a short attention span regarding world and national affairs. All these images and news stories have been fed to us all of lives through a small filter hardly seem real. When the twin towers were attacked, did people move on because we're a strong nation or did they shrug it off because life goes on? I don't really know, but it scares me that it might be the latter.
