Hi Jackie,
I think that has always been true about the younger generations unless
there is a really exciting "cause" to rally around, like civil rights or
a war to protest.
But it seems to me that those who refuse to admit that the truth USUALLY
lies somewhere in between (not always, but usually) have a hidden agenda.
In the case of the Clinton fiasco that agenda is clearly political. Of
course we can't tell for sure unless we can give them a lie detector
test. <VBG>
