So is it really the younger generations fault that they don't know about politics? I mean really, it's you guys who are supposed to teach politics in school and you guys run news networks. The news reporters in your day talked about things that were relevant, but yet what WE get to see is Anna Nicole Smith's death and how much of a mess Brittany Spears is, and don't forget which hollywood stars are picking up trannys and those who are with child.

America has a bad case of A.D.D. Don't pin all the blame of the lack of political knowledge on the youngsters.
