patriotism

Paths to patriotism: "While 8 in 10 Americans support the war on terrorism, only 57 percent of college students approve. Following Sept. 11, military records show, the enlistment rate hardly budged."

"Ms. Tengo, for one, has never voted and vows that she never will. 'It's one of those 'What's the point?' kind of things," she quips. "I feel like my life would be the same no matter who's in office, so I don't really care.'"

"'There is a gap developing where young people really do not sense a duty to participate in the process,' says Leon Panetta, head of the institute and former White House chief of staff under President Clinton. 'They clearly care about issues, but the disconnect is that they don't see Washington as relevant to what they believe in.'"
