Boomers return to idealism?

According to a report by a community foundation concerned with "civic engagement of older adults," half of the baby boomers surveyed said they plan to volunteer upon retirement. If that trend is bigger than just Denver, Colorado, it will definitely mean good things for political action. After all, as the Rose Foundation CEO stated:

"...this is the generation that harnessed its own power early on, whether it was around civil rights, women's equality, the war or other issues."

Maybe they can teach us youngsters a thing or two about the art of the protest... So if you're out there, remember--you don't have to retire to have time for Operation Democracy!
