"It's Like a Full Moon..."

muttered Scott Walker's campaign manager, Rick Wiley.

Turns out,
unlike much of the conformist population of Republican Wisconsin -- trained to remain silent, even on those policies they disagree with -- the twentysomething citizens in New Hampshire are speaking out, putting their passions on display as they question whether a bought-and-sold politician* is really the best option for leading America into the future.

Good work, kids!
Keep it up...

* Independent thinkers cannot be bought.
When they are, the independence generally ceases, in my humble observation, and one often becomes a toady, giving The Man what he thinks he paid for... 

Many older people have made this Faustian bargain, many workers, in the legal field especially, whose thinking "follows the money".  That empowers men like the Koch brothers, and plenty  of other monied corporations.

Many millenials are "people pleasers", this is true...
But not all.  And again, they really do have the numbers -- even in the minority -- to create Real Change in our country.  Unlike their parents, the Boomers, this generation still has time to get it right. (as Bob Seger might sing...)

Roll, roll away... I'm gonna roll me away tonight.
Gotta keep rollin', gotta keep ridin', keep searchin' till I find what's right...
And as the sunset faded I spoke to the faintest first starlight...
And I said, Next time...
Next time, we'll get it right!
