New media is always disruptive.

I didn't say that. Marshall McLuhan did. But it is something that is a hard lesson to grasp.

The "1984" mash-up that puts Hillary Clinton in the "Big Brother" role, and the iPod carrying, screen smasher who represents a blow for freedom is wearing an "Obama" t-shirt.

I found it and the brief discussion that helped me put it in context here.

I personally think the attempt to link Hillary and Big Brother is weak, but I agree that for lots of young people there is a generational line in politics and much as people my age ( need I say born before 1960)would like to pretend there isn't.

If you don't believe me, ask an intelligent 20-something about nuclear power as a solution to global warming. As a boomer, it is hard to admit we might not know it all, but the only solution to many problems is going to involve multi-generational cooperation.
