on PolicyMic
Silas Horst I can say honestly as an American the message here reached something deep within me which has been quiet or maybe suppressed since 2008. There seems to be a lot of focus on Millennials and the role we will play in the coming decades, here on this site and in the media more generally. Worries and doubts abound about our ability to take up the burden of carrying America forward. I cannot speak for all of us, but I can speak for some: we are confident, and we are capable. We watched an economic collapse and subsequent political and personal turmoil define the end of the last decade. Despite the downturn, many of us have quietly and doggedly continued to educate ourselves. We are prepared to dedicate the best of ourselves to America.
