The 2008 presidential election has made one thing obvious: America’s demographics have changed. After almost two-and-a-half centuries, the United States has seen its first female and minority presidential hopefuls beat out their white male competitors in votes, delegates, media coverage, and financial support. And for the first time in history, the charge for change has been led by Americans under the age of 30.
Since the commencement of George W. Bush’s “War in Iraq,” youth civic engagement has surged in parallel with the surge in troop deployment to the Middle East:
- In the 2000 presidential election, 4.3 million young voters – those between the ages of 18 and 29 – made their way to the polls to “rock the vote.”

I LOVE MASI OKA! You have to love a guy who can code and save the world…and still have a sense of humor and humility! He’ll be on Ellen this Friday:
Friday, September 21: MASI OKA
Put your learning pants on because STEVE SPANGLER THE SCIENCE GUY is giving a demonstration on gasses. No, not that kind of gas. He’s also going to dip a guy in invisible ink and knock a paper cup off of an audience member’s head with a giant smoke ring blown all the way from across the studio. Then, last season he helped save the cheerleader and the world, and now Ellen is saving him a seat on her show. From the super-powered NBC blockbuster “Heroes,” MASI OKA comes back from the future to reveal exciting details from the much anticipated second season and witnesses first hand Ellen’s super interviewing powers.

“And it was more or less as if we created a doom machine: In our search for wealth and for prosperity, we create a thing that’s going to destroy us.”
- Robert Monks, Corporate governance advisor
At what point do we stop destroying ourselves in pursuit of wealth? Or, at what point do we stop pursuing wealth because it’s destroying us?
I think we will stop once we redefine “us.”
Chris Rock once said that only the white man can make money off of pain, and to a great extent, that seems true: the majority of those with the greatest wealth and power have gotten these things through the exploitation and suffering of “others” - in this case, the non-white, non-male. It’s easier to let other people suffer if you don’t identify with them as fellow people. You can justify it to yourself if you buy into: “They can always say no.”
