Sanity from the MySpace Generation?

This editorial offers hope. Taking aim at children's books like "Help! Mommy, There's a Liberal Under my Bed!" the author decries destructive labeling, writing:

Right now, Generation Y has the chance to escape the curse of staunch political labeling...This may be because we don't fit neatly into traditional party thinking. We treat our politics the way we treat our music and our clothes (and often our religion): as good consumer-citizens, we mix and match. It's a political supermarket. As a New York Times-CBS-MTV survey demonstrated in June, we lean left on many issues, such as gay rights and health-care coverage. But most of us also support many traditionally Republican positions, such as limiting or banning abortion and staying relatively optimistic about the Iraq war. Our political beliefs, like our music, aren't bundled the way our elders' are. You older types buy into albums and political platforms; we prefer hit singles.
