YES I know it is dificult for the Liberals to realise that they are no longer in their beloved activist roll. The 60's liberal/socialist/activist generation is now middle age and low and behold they are the people with the reigns of power. Granted the smarter ones saw the light and become more conservative but Universities are full of 60's retreads calling themselves Profs and Administrators.

Hoz, Smarter ones became conservative? I am liberal as I am sure many people know by now. I am not on the extreme left by any means, and I think I would agree with Conservative that leans left over a 'Red" liberal.
My concern is that there is a severe problem with ignorance on the right. I find most of the intelligent younger people are Liberal. This is not the case for the older generation necessarily, they have their reasons and that is fine. [/b][/quote]
and they are also out of touch with reality. It's great to be an activist and protest and burn flags but IMO most of these activists believe that world is a simple as "Give Peace a Chance". I just see very few of them taking a pro-active approach. It's easy to show up at a protest and bitch and whine but when it comes to generating new ideas I don't see many of them making any contributions. Hippies will never be anything more than hippies because it takes some elbow grease to get work done, they're not interested in working. They only want to complain.
