Iran's Youth: By day it's shawls and overcoats, at night underground raves with alcohol and pot

Iran can no longer suppress it's youth. They want to be free and there's nothing the Ayatollah can do about it.

From the article:
"But at night, and in private, the shawls were off. The same girls – with their brothers and cousins – joined me in underground raves, fuelled by smuggled alcohol and copious amounts of cannabis. Among the city’s youth, the elections hardly entered conversation. When I asked Mazyiar, a twenty-six year-old, if he would vote, he shrugged, saying, “All the candidates are approved by the Ayatollah, what’s the point?”

In the space of two months, all that has changed. “Where is my vote?”, thousands of young Iranians are chanting in the streets and posting on their supposedly banned Facebook profiles. One look at my own feed tells me how cheated the young people of Iran feel, now that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been re-elected for another four years. “Shout out on the street: ‘Death to the dictator’”, one status tells me, adding cautiously , “but remember not to protest in groups, you must stay dispersed.” Another one says simply, “Supporters of Mousavi protest from Vali-Aser square to Tajrish wearing green cloth”.

Good luck you rebellious young ones, tonight I am saying a prayer for your freedom.

2. The majority of their country is under 30

there is no way that the current form of Islamic law is going to last for too much longer. The numbers are not in the current party's favor. It may take a while but these young people have the internet, they have a link to the western world, they want what we have and I pray that they get it.
