A BULLETIN TO STUDENTS
----------------------
Re: Communications and Youth Power
This bulletin is traveling via usenet only because other avenues are abused
too often.
The core question is as to whether we can transcend the
flaming/trolling/spamming/spoofing mentality and get back on a track to gain
the rational euphoria of unity.
Yes!
All we have to do is write about
http://www.buzzfeed.com/elated/ultimate-youth-power-breakthrough-moment-3wgc
("The Ultimate Youth Power Breakthrough Moment").
Momentum should not be taken for granted.
Right now we have it.
Never before have students had such a clear chance to grasp the reigns of
power and jolt the world into what could, until now, only be deemed
"idealistic."
Writing about "The Ultimate Youth Power Breakthrough Moment" is much simpler
than voter registration, and infinitely more effective.
If we don't write about it now, the momentum will dissipate.
If we don't use our power, politicians and the media will continue to insult
our intelligence by vastly underestimating the overwhelming crises that we
face.
It's crystal clear that the fate of the world rests squarely in the hands of
student journalists.
Because students have a special ability to be very serious while having a
lot of fun, and that's the only way to really successfully push the real
solution.
A public discourse on this subject is certainly welcome.
