I came across this interesting website today that is discussing our generation. As the website puts it "generation we."  Basically, young people today are making up the largest generation of our time, while inheriting some of the world's biggest issues.

Watch the video here: http://www.gen-we.com/

It's interesting to note that if we unified as a generation, we'd be the largest voting block in the history of america. I found this map below which gives an interesting picture of how each state would look if it counted only votes by 18-29 year olds.

It sort of makes you wonder what the world could be like if we held the power? Would we be better off? Make better decisions? Either way, I'm down with the progressiveness path we're starting to take.  

I'd like to take a moment to applaud all of us young voters who turned out in record numbers to the polls... and who overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama.

From CIRCLE:

• Young voters (ages 18-29) supported Obama over McCain 66% to 32% 
• An estimated 21.6 million to 23.9 million young Americans voted in yesterday's presidential election, an increase of at least 2.2 million from 2004
• The projected youth vote turnout is between 49.3% and 54.5%, an increase of 1 to 6 points
