I'm not really a Democrat who happens to prioritize social issues...I'm a Democrat b/c I care more about social issues.
I have to agree with Migrendel, for once. Certain individual rights should be sacred and are not to be tampered with by whatever majority.
On the out-look of young people, I think there are signs in more than one direction. But social progressivism in terms of increased tolerance for different peoples and their life-styles I think that is definitely occuring.
However, social progressivism or social liberalism is often confused with some sort of social leftism, which isn't the same thing. Many young people don't want left-winged social policies, such as AA or gun control. But most are accepting of other people, such as gays.
