We forgive Keanu Reeves when he babbles on about spoon-bending, fate, and being The One. Minus advanced digital kung-fu technology, however, the going is tough—at least in most blue states, and certainly among a generation reared on Mary-Kate-and-Ashley eye rolls and “SpongeBob SquarePants” absurdity. But even the hip 20-something in ironically oversized sunglasses...
