Who here is between 18 and 26? (The secret behind the Ron Paul Revolution)

I'm 25.
Jan. 16 1982...

But I don't think that's right - we're rebellious - we just don't like harming others or doing them wrong.

We obey the rules - so long as they suit us...

But we aren't rigid law followers when the laws don't make sense/our acts don't harm anyone.



If we followed the rules, we wouldn't support Ron Paul.

YES - Illicit drug use WILL go down - once drugs are legalized (one of the main reasons I'm here...)

And with the ability to use drugs freely, the spiritual revolution will come about LONG before we hit our old age.


Above all we're FLEXIBLE.

We CHANGE - unlike our parents who stick with their beliefs in absolute defiance of common sense, fact, or reason.

And we continue to change. Rapidly.


We grow... we live.

And because of this, we WILL prosper - but it won't end with us becoming a rigid group of progress bearers...

We will continue to flex and bend with the times, creating the spiritual utopia as well as the societal utopias predicted in that book.


Freedom will ring - and the rules will be changed...
THEN we will begin to fit into the confines of these predictions.



(As for violent crime... Young men who didn't use 'ecstasy' in the past year were 36% more likely to have been arrested for a crime than those who had used the drug. Among those who had been arrested, those without a history of 'ecstasy' use were 42% more likely to have committed assault, 58% more likely to have committed robbery, and 67% more likely to have committed burglary.


MDMA use (Ecstasy use) decreases violent crime by around 50%

We are less violent because of our drugs of choice - avoiding alcohol and choosing non-aggression causing marijuana and ecstasy.
 
I'm 42, 1965 was noted once as the first year of generation X. I hope your generation is not as complacent as mine.
 
No doubt the internet has had a huge hand in this, mostly releasing us from the bondage of old media.

The themes of "Millennials Rising" would make really good fodder for an email or ad targeted to apathetic people, branding them as heroes with a destiny.

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."

16, even though I'll miss out on the vote, I've recruited some older and younger to ensure Dr. Paul's and OUR vision succeeds.

Strauss and Howe [...] expect that some event between 2005 and 2010 will signal the beginning of two decades of chronic fear and struggle, like the financial crisis of 1929 or the presidential election of 1860. This event will have such an effect, not because it is so overwhelming in itself, but because society will have reached a point where compromise is no longer seen as a virtue. The crisis will no doubt have economic, political and military dimensions, but Strauss and Howe have no more clue than anyone else about the specifics.
