civil rights infringements? And I am not talking about civile rights affecting 'blacks', I am talking about civil rights infringements on all Americans? Do you think the younger generations will ever be proactive on a large scale in speaking out about civil rights violations or other issues they disagree with? I am talking about on the scale of Vietnam War protests, sit-ins, demonstrations etc.
I am just curious because it seems like our governing bodies are becoming more and more unchecked and none of the people are protesting or trying to change anything(ex: the 2000 elections, lies/corruption to do with the war, gov. not addressing global warming issues, etc). Have we completely forgotten about the past struggles that people have gone through and we think we can't make a difference or have we just become so complacent that we don't care?

unfortunately it seems that each generation is more apathetic than the previous. i'm guilty of it myself, as a teenager i didn't care about anything involving politics. it took becomming a mother to make me realize that there is something seriously wrong with the direction this country is headed for.

There are plenty of people that care about this - they just don't always make the news. Sooner or later people get fed up enough to vote the politicians they don't like out of office - remember the last election?

Complacement but it also doesn't help that everything cost so high these days. During Vietnam and the past everything was much much cheaper so people had less to worry about.

Oh you mean civil rights violations like murdering unborn babies, banning LIGHT BULBS, banning smoking in public places, letting sex offenders out of prison, etc.?
Those are already happening!
