Not a debate for younger people

On page 203, Senator Lindsey Graham is quoted as saying, "I have been to enough college campuses to know if you are thirty or younger this climate issue is not a debate. It's a value. These young people grew up with recycling and a sensitivity to the environment - and the world will be better off for it."

This struck home to me because I find there are a lot of political hot button issues (for example, gay marriage), which are (for the most part) not debates. It makes me wonder how many political debates will be solved merely with the passing of time. However, I know many issues cannot wait for the next generation to be solved.
