Rebels without a cause

I sort of understand the college students who are anti-war. They are in that frame of mind where they MUST challenge and have their voices heard in OPPOSITION of the mainstream thought and morals.

They are of the age of "rebellion"!......and what better than a war! Doesn't matter the reasons why..........they want to flaunt their "moral" indignation........because they CAN.

What's a real puzzlement is the older generations who are making fools of themselves with their irrational "cause". They are protesting against the very thing that provides them with the ability and "right" to protest!!.......i.e. democracy and freedom from oppression!
