Ruth Rosen plugs 2004ward in the San Francisco Gate: These are not the college students you see on the evening news -- the ones who head to exotic Southern beaches during their spring break and spend their vacation half-naked, dancing in a drunken stupor. They know how to enjoy themselves, but they're also willing to do the grassroots work necessary to expand the number of Americans who participate in our democracy. They're pragmatic; they're idealistic. After talking with them, I felt a surge of optimism because a new generation cares, very deeply, about shaping the future of our democracy... You bet we're gonna enjoy ourselves.
