RABBLE-ROUSER SOMETHING'S GOTTA BE COMIN' © 2004 Jordan Margolis In every cowboy movie, just when the Indians are on the verge of attacking our heroes, one cowboy looks far out into the black night and says (It's quiet... too quiet.... I don't like it!( Just as the cowboy in these great pictures, I find myself apprehensive about the future. Yet my curiosity concerns itself with the absence of the tremendous turmoil created by my peers, when they link together in protest. In the past, it seemed that there was a constant supply of good causes to support: Civil Rights; Viet Nam; Hunger; Ecology; etc. These were great while they lasted, but one can't harp on the same issues for too long. They seem to lose their excitement after a while. Pollution is still in, but there's just not much one can do in a fight against it. Carrying signs, writing letters, and wearing buttons, simply don't make it for the young, anti-establishment crusader. Besides, who wants to be concerned over the same thing as our parents. The thought itself is utterly disgusting; There is a definite need for the traditional opposition to something. What it is, I don't know. I presently cannot think of anything that has the potential to create good ol' American animosity. I do, however, have great faith in my beers, I know that some brilliant (student of the world( in college will see a vision, and formulate it into a common cause to protest for or against. Then, like a snowball rolling down a hill, it will grow throughout the college campuses, into the high schools, and even become a budding flower in the grammar schools. Soon afterwards, the entire nation will tremble and humble itself at the feet of the future leaders of the New America. I can't wait to see how it's going to be: Please kids, don't let me down.
