Good point, Graham. Spaw, since you call him by his first name, I think you could drop the formal and just ask Joe, "Wie gehts du?"

Sorry, Rick, I didn't mean that you only watch to analyse. I know you better than that, I hope. I think it is wonderful that you choose to be well-informed and make intelligent decisions, unlike the average joe and jane blow, who also sit and complain but DO NOT VOTE!

Now, here is a hard question, everyone. THIS IS TOTALLY GENERAL. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY ONE OF US, JUST posing. Are we washed up as activists; waiting for those under 30 something to take up the mantle of social change and justice? Do you take what you watch, make a decision, and act on it, through whatever way that you can? I know a lot of you do when it comes to music. How about politics? Or social issues, specifically? Just wondering and think it could bring some interesting discussion.
