Being progressive is a good idea - the problem is that progressives (including me) have hidden, inactive, complacent and apologetic since the late 60's.

It took this past election year to bring a lot of us hippies back to life politically. A lot of the energy in the grassroots campaign in 2004 came from people a lot older than 37.

I noticed at the local MoveOn house party held two weeks after the election that the average age appeared to be early '50's. There was no one under 40, yet it was a really spirited and innovative meeting.

We're not ready to be put out to pasture yet.
