The Ottawa Citizen (June 27, 2004):

"Evil is a word usually reserved for serial killers, Austin Powers villains, and kids who tear the legs off baby spiders. But, a new poll shows a significant number of young Canadians would use 'evil' to describe their U.S. neighbours. In a telephone poll of 500 teens aged 14 to 18, more than 40 per cent of respondents saw the U.S. as an evil global force. Among French-Canadians, that number jumped to 64 per cent."

"Youth have a very, very strong desire to be seen as peacekeepers, SO LONG AS IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY HAVE TO DO THE PEACEKEEPING THEMSELVES." (Capitalization courtesy of Restless.)

Agreed. It's also a function of youth to have very strong opinions (one way or another) because they haven't lived long enough to have the experiences and time to temper those opinions.

I don't have a desire to be a peacekeeper.
