When it comes to this generation they are not going to wait. They are not going to settle. They are not going to do 'the right thing'. They are going to do what works for them. Their journey is ongoing, and with it comes their stories.

The younger generation's reaction to conservative-led stalemate is to consider our government irrelevant. That's a big mistake. You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you.

While I consider myself dependable, I'm definitely guilty of succumbing to this annoying generational affliction. It's FOMO, better known as Fear of Missing Out, and it's spreading like the plague.

The Revolution Will Be Televised, Googled, Tweeted... Etc.
