I can only imagine what it's like having to suck hind tit and know that there will never be enough of 'my' cohort to ever form a majority on any issue. Worse yet, once 'their' generation comes of age, the baby boom echo's numbers will out vote their wishes and needs. Talk about getting screwed. Why even attempt to participate in politics?

I don’t know of anyone my age that takes an interest in politics. It makes me feel kind of sad sometimes. I am rare person in my age category. “In Saskatchewan it’s uncommon to be a teen, 20-something, and even a 30-something who is active in politics”
