ok I'm of my rant my apologies to you lilith for even going
party on peeps and vote,vote,vote.

Sadly, I don't think more people voting would help (until we can get these people out of power). It's the money talking. The religous right is throwing a ton of cash at them. And they're taking it.
As for the parents, that would imply personal responsibility. Which, as Americans, we apparently are unwilling to take. Just my opinion, and yes, I'm a little jaded.
