This is so good! It is why I avoid news: so sick of hearing only the bad stuff, and hearing it 24 hours per day (not necessary). Maybe the young people of the 60s were more engaged in political news because it directly effected them (the draft, Vietnam), as young people today are more directly effected by climate change, and don't have to worry about getting drafted, etc. The news that directly effects us is the news we pay attention to.
