Stuff's happening, alright. That little internal contradiction, the one between the 'capitalist' and 'democratic' constituents of liberalism, is showing its face. It's always the young 'uns, eh? Oldies might be better at countering the establishment's ridicule/platitudes etc (that side of the mainstream media coverage has been consequently poorly utilised, I think), but it's the young 'uns doing the hard yards. Good on 'em!
