Younger and... Wiser? I hope so

I gotta get to New York.

Alicia Colon of the New York Sun has some hope for our "younger, wiser generation" :

Last Thursday I went to an eye-opening event given by Fuel For Truth at the club Arena on West 41st. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I was surprised at the turnout of 500 young attractive adults, who had been told they would hear the truth about Israel, Radical Islam, and the reality of what is happening in the Middle East. They came to hear the music, drink, and be merry, and when it was time to listen, they did.

Two large video screens bore messages of the theme of the evening: "Behind Enemy Lines." An hour and a half into the festivities, the music was shut off and the presentation began. The first speaker was Sergeant First Class Terry Schappert, U.S. Special Forces, who explained that we here in New York are the ones behind enemy lines. "Our enemies are fighting an information war with us . . . , a war to convince us that we are the cause of terrorism," he said. He then showed slides on the screen with outrageous quotes by professors and lecturers at our hallowed institutes of learning....

It's hard to be disheartened by current events when witnessing the possible future in the hands of this younger and wiser generation, which may turn out to be the best of all.
