...people as irresponsible and out of touch: Generation Y, as in why bother? The reaction of campaigns to this message has been to try to pander to youths' perceived greed for entertainment. After watching the WWF wrestler "The Rock" introduce House Speaker Dennis Hastert and seeing Gov. Jesse Ventura flaunt his feather boa, few can question the image of politically irresponsible youth.

A devout Christian and onetime Tommy Hilfiger model, Hoku--whose name, conveniently, means "star" in Hawaiian--is uncomfortable with the pop star's prescribed role as sex kitten and refuses to flaunt her body to sell more albums. After her concerts, she says, "girls in tears have come up to me and said, 'Thank you so much for making it O.K. for me to not dress trashy to be cool.'" Time to rethink your wardrobe, Britney...

Stopfel was Lind's good friend, she told her flock in a powerful, high-risk sermon; "It could have been me." She recounted the rabbi's challenge. Here was her answer. "I am not coming out because I want to flaunt my sexuality, [but] because the Gospel demands it," she said.
