I hear you #2, but in 2004, young people didn't vote in any larger numbers than before. Sure, they're more aware and more vocal, but they can't seem to peel their asses off their couches. Outside of the dreadlocked, patchouli, college community, young people really don't care enough to vote. Seriously, the numbers don't lie. Count how many young people in NY still have their ID's from other states. Think those young people are registered to vote in NY? I don't think so. They can't be bothered to even change their phone numbers to a NYC number, let alone register their residency. How can those same lazy people be bothered to find their polling precinct, wait on a long line and vote?

Isn't it possible that more efforts aimed at young people might encourage them to vote? And even if it doesn't, does that mean we should stop reaching out to them? We read the news, and frankly, a lot of us are more politically aware than people in our parents' generation. Don't pigeon hole us. And never, ever, discourage an entire segment of the population from exercising their right to vote. Now please young people, prove me right when the elections role around...
