[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 619328, member: 1550"] We do, but our kids are pretty uninvolved. Also, we tend to be more conservative and treehuggers are seen as "whackos" here in most circles. Personally, I love nature and would count as a treehugger. The difference is cultures is fascinating to me. At least your son stands for something. Most of our societal dropouts are simply drug addicts or the very mentally ill that refuse treatment. Rarely do they gather to demonstrate for a cause. The only time in my sixty years I recall youngters being involved in anything political or idealistic was when we had the draft during VietNam. And a lot of that had to do with the fact that it was their heads on the line. Since then...well, we had a very mild form of Occupy Wall street that was not really pervasive beyond a few big cities and it shut down fast. [/QUOTE]
