Old enough to care about whats important in life and what past generations fought and gave their lives for. Not the childish games played in the name of politics these days. You sound like one of those charity adverts on the telly, going on about starving Africans. Its nothing new it happens every year and like you its becoming boring. Go away and play with the fairy's
