Yes, yes -- but don't romanticize the young out in these parts, or in my old stomping grounds of central Indiana. There are plenty of young reactionaries, and their demographic is fed things like mixed martial arts and fundamentalist Christianity. I see it every day. It depresses the hell out of me.
