From Lorraine: Apathy

Sorry I'm late getting this in...anywho, I think a huge part of apathy--especially political apathy--is the fact that young people don't trust too many people over 30--especially if those people happen to be politicians. The reason young people trust musicians is the fact that musicians haven't necessarily tried to screw them out of their futures and have had a more positive impact than the politicians who have the budgets for education and have cut of social welfare projects from them, such as Head Start and free lunch and have forced their parents to spend most of their days at work, leaving them with little to no supervision and guidance. Beyond that, unless you're of voting age, you have no say in what goes on in the country you live in, and because you can't vote, no one really cares what you have to say.

Let's face it: The government is no longer of, by, and for the people. It of, by, and for the elite to use as their own piggy banks. Young people know this, and that's why they're apathetic.
