what is wrong with young people

i always get upset when i see or hear young people (18-25 ish) complain about government and politics, or about how they dont like how things are going in the world. it's like, dude DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! GO VOTE, run for office, something. Old people from about 50 on are the largest voting block in this country, and let's be honest, theyre going to croak way before any of us do.
young people have GOT to get more active in political issues, whether it be environmental protection, protecting civil rights and liberites, or whatever. find an issue that you like, and do something about it.
i'm getting tired of being the only young person that has an interest in what goes on in the world. we need to get less occupied by American Idol, Britney Spears, or Anna Nicole Smith, and more occupied with troop deployment, environmental pollution and government corruption. in the end, which of those issues affects us more?
