HEY! OLD GUYS!
Yeah *you* - remember back say, oh... thirty years ago when you were a hot young radical who wanted to overthrow the corrupt gray-faces in your government? Hey, you succeeded! Yeah, good times, good times.
Take a look in the mirror. Take a good look. *YOU* have become the corrupt gray-face in your government. Sort of like the old song, "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." And all those kids on the street? They were what you _once_ were.
Yeah, when you were young you weren't going to sit back and take it and the kids... we'll, they're just following your fine example. You got tired of being told to sit down and be quiet... so are they.
No matter how much you shout at them I don't think they're going to get off your lawn any time soon.
And you guys really blew it too. You can't even steal an election well! You don't just make up numbers and declare yourselves the winners before the votes are counted - you jerry-rig and gum up the voting system just enough to push it into the gray area _then_ declare victory - like the Republicans did here for so long.
The Revolution is not being televised... it's being Tweeted.
