Reader Zac wants to know:
After a decade of activism, a lot of people of conscience in the 1970's turned inward, and it became the "me decade" marked by a shift toward "new age" stuff and just people tuning out of politics and just trying to live their lives and not worrying so much about the outside world, and more about the inside world.
Is there any indication of what activists seem to be doing as this decade of american militarism (2001-2009) comes to an end, and we move on to the 2010's? Are activists burnt out from being hyper political and all the marches and campaigns and energy put into these things, has the movement gone inward, and is this a new me decade, or conversely are activists as political and rage filled and engaged as they have been since Sept 11 happened?
