I want your apathy: Vote - or go back to watching people make out in hottubs on MTV

I read the teaser for an article in The Boston Globe on how young voters are going to be really, truly, sersiously off-the-hookizzle important in next year’s elections, and my reaction was the same as John Daley’s: Weren’t we told the same thing in 2004? Aren’t we told the same thing every election?

I for one think it is a very good thing that young people don’t vote as much as their elders. In fact, I think it would be quite beneficial for society if the voting age was raised to 25, which, to rather lazily use a much over-used construct, is the new 18, going on 16.
