This points out that we, indeed, need to teach youth to be aware of and to
take responsibility for the political happenings that effect them AS
VOTING CITIZENS. Mike also points out that we must do such teaching
responsibly. We cannot determine for the youth what political slant they
will take as they mature. We can and should help them seek a political
awareness for themselves.

expand horizons and interests, IMHO. ;-)
