Repost from TPM

As delighted as I am to rage against the bastards, an anger that only deepens with every passing day that feeds this soul-killing, omnivorous and inexhaustible greed, this essay from a reader at TPM bears reading.

This year, I am not listening to the pundits or even my fellow bloggers all that much. I am listening mostly to eighteen and nineteen year olds who just want to cut the crap and finally see something get accomplished in politics. Because I am beginning to understand that they are wiser than I am.

This sense of youthful wisdom has been my general experience of college students recently. The kids are cool, the kids are all right, and it's because it's their asses on the line.
