Kristin Waters
"I’m of that generation when it was easy to be active politically if you, you know rolled out of the bed in the dorm room and managed to stumble out the door of the dorm there was a demonstration going on outside. Sometimes those of us of my generation who are critical of the younger generation for not being sufficiently active, we should remember that it really didn’t take much effort on our part."
