...Hanson's remarks gave them a credence they did not deserve. Others, however, were clearly motivated by the desire not to alienate the ranks within their own party that had reservations about free trade, immigration and affirmative action.

Today's teenagers hold such a commanding position in our economy, it's only a matter of time before antiquated child-labor laws are inverted to establish a maximum wage and minimum hours. (In fact, the better question may be, is it even fair to keep these kids stuck at home or in a classroom during their peak earning years?) These are the odd socioeconomic circumstances that place me among the first generation...
