Thousands of Iranian students took to the streets of Tehran yesterday...I have a question. Why is it always 'students?' who do stuff like this?

It all started with 'students' in '79, and it'll all end with 'students' in '03. I guess older folks don't have the time - most have jobs - or the energy for revolution.

I don't have an answer, though in Poland it was union workers wasn't it?
Shipyard workers I think!

I have a question. Why is it always 'students?' who do stuff like this? Obviously they were all wearing caps-n-gowns. Silly!

I have a question. Why is it always 'students?' who do stuff like this? No fear of death for the most part. When I was young I thought I was invincible. And high testosterone levels. In other words they have allot more energy then us old folks. At least us over 40.

It also just occurred to me, that the young are the ones with an undefined future for which to fight. The older citizens are likely to be satisfied or resigned to their fate and don't feel the risk of losing a family or job or comfort(whatever that is) is worth the reward.
The youth have a future, the old do not.
