Yes, I'm taking the word "minority" to mean those people with less political power than other people.
I agree about the generational issue. I think that fear of "other" is innate but that hatred of "other" is learned. Liberals won. Hatred of women, hatred of non-pink-skins, and hatred of homos is not the lesson that a generation has learned (after efforts of generations like mine, I'm glad to point out).
I agree that the Democratic old guard is part of the problem too. Personally, I think that Nancy Pelosi is a traitor and should be tried in court alongside Dick Cheney from crimes against the Constitution. But that's a different issue.
I agree that the nation is in a severe state of disrepair. I think it might still be repairable, but what I want is to start over. Let's try something new. I want to experience demarchy. I want to experience a constitution with a new bill of rights. (With a Privacy clause, for instance, and an Information clause that insists all information is free for use and therefore eliminates copyright, and a Generational clause that insists we have responsibilities to the natural resources of future generations of Americans.) Conservatives rail against Democrats as being progressives. *LAUGH* They really have no idea how much change some of us are ready to experience. Democrats are slowing us down. :)
