Young people have always been less interested in politics. Just because you/we don't like how the elderly are voting, we don't have to make this a bigger issue than it is.

I hope you're referring to the civil rights movement, and not to those who elected Nixon so we could have a Drug War and stay in Vietnam for another seven years.

Nixon was the president that extricated the US from Vietnam through the peace talks. And the US' involvement only lasted another 5 years, not 7 years.
