I often find myself wondering what is up with today’s youth.  I know, that sounds like such an old person thing to day, but it’s still valid.  Around the world, modern youth are turning to violence in ways that are frightening.  From schoolyards to sidewalks, they can be scary little fuckers sometimes.  Maybe I’m a little sexist to say this, but I find it particularly strange that so many young girls are engaging in such violent acts. 

No, I don’t think you can blame it on a lack of God in their lives, or too much video game and television violence.  That’s just a cop-out.  Children and young adults are far too smart to think TV and video game violence is real; and just because you go to church every Sunday does not mean you’ll turn out to be a good little boy or girl.  I have no answer to this, but I find it worrisome.

You have to wonder what’s wrong with Hillary Clinton.  She’s going out of her way to insult huge swaths of Democrat voters with her belitting remarks about the “activist base” of the party.  You know, it’s fine to disagree with these groups, that’s what freedom’s all about Senator, but to disparage and dismiss these groups as some sort problem for the party is backwards and dangerous thinking for any candidate.  Senator Clinton continues to prove that she cares little about any high-minded ideal and more about grabbing power.  It’s remarks like this coupled with her general attitude of entitlement that are turning off voters.

This to me is also a fundamental difference between Seantor Clinton and Senator Obama.  If it was Seantor Clinton who’d been the recipient of MoveOn’s largesse I really don’t think Seantor Obama would be attacking them as Seantor Clinton has.  Instead of playing the blame game he would be looking for ways to better engage the voters.  Senator Clinton has been good at blaming others for her failures, but maybe she needs to start looking within herself.  If she keeps up these actions, and is able to pull off the nomination, she’s going to find it hard to energize these same groups to help her in November.
