" To throw up something worth getting excited about".

Charlie that is a sad comment from a person of your age. Do you really need stimulus by a politician to become involved?

The social changes today that young people enjoy did'nt come from waiting, they came about,from people getting out of what comfort zone they had, and doing something about improving society and their lot!

I am bemused and astounded by the comments so far, I love the irony of the fact that DFXK launches straight into a left vs. right attack and, frankly, I'm not even sure that Shonga and I read the same article.
At any rate, it seems to me that Charlie was writing less about apathy and more about irrelevance. This article isn't a call-to-arms, it's a critique of the attention given to the so-called 'Culture Wars' when there are far more pressing issues at hand.
But then, my views are probably tainted by the fact that I enjoy a lifestyle that entails a life-long HECS debt, the insecurity of a rented home, cripplingly expensive childcare and a dying planet - a lifestyle that I am happy to acknowledge Shonga's generation so kindly bequeathed to me...

One things for sure:

Two Lefts dont make it right.

The evidence is everywhere. So if you can add up, there's nothing more to say.

"Two Lefts dont make it right."
Neither do two Rights....you know it was nonsensical, so you get the nonsensical answer :)
