In the United States, student activism is often understood as a form of youth activism that is specifically oriented toward change in the American educational system. Student activism in the United States dates to the beginning of public education, if not before. The best early historical documentation comes from the 1930s. The American Youth Congress was a student-led organization in Washington, DC, which lobbied the US Congress against racial discrimination and for youth programs. It was heavily supported by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. The 1960s saw student activists gaining increased political prominence. One highlight of this period was Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) launched in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a student-led organization that focused on schools as a social agent that simultaneously oppresses and potentially uplifts society. SDS eventually spun off the Weather Underground. Another successful group was Ann Arbor Youth Liberation, which featured students calling for an end to state-led education. Also notable was the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which fought against racism and for integration of public schools across the US. These specific organizations closed in the mid-1970s. The largest student strike in American history took place in May and June 1970, in response to the Kent State shootings and the American invasion of Cambodia. In the early 1980s several formalized organizations brought neoliberal models of student activism to campuses across the nation, especially the Campus Outreach Opportunity League (C.O.O.L.). They claim large responsibility for identifying and championing the interest in service among higher education students. American society saw an increase in student activism again in the 1990s with the ushering in of the neoliberal community service policies of Bill Clinton. The popular education reform movement has led to a resurgence of populist student activism against standardized testing and teaching[7], as well as more complex issues including military/industrial/prison complex and the influence of the military and corporations in education[8] There is also increased emphasis on ensuring that changes that are made are sustainable, by pushing for better education funding and policy or leadership changes that engage students as decision-makers in schools. Major contemporary campaigns include work for funding of public schools, against increased tuitions at colleges or the use of sweatshop labor in manufacturing school apparel (e.g. United students against sweatshops), for increased student voice throughout education planning, delivery, and policy-making (e.g. The Roosevelt Institution), and to raise national and local awareness of the humanitarian consequences of the Darfur Conflict. There is also increasing activism around the issue of global warming. Antiwar activism has also increased leading to the creation of the Campus Antiwar Network and the refounding of SDS in 2006.

buses, cars, ships, and planes were all popular forms of transportation. Horse carriages were also used in some cities.

The same people who are important today, except they are alot older.

The Iranian hostage crisis

or if you're speaking in economic terms - the OPEC oil crises of '73 and '79. This led to a large recession in the US economy.

Angus Young did not lose his teeth in the 70s. The story of him losing his teeth during a performance is a myth. Angus Young actually had his teeth capped.

Voting ages have varied in different countries and at different times. An old cynic like me might say that a left-wing government might lower the age to the upper teens in the hope that the 'pink period' that most idealistic teenagers go through might benefit the left-wing government.

Retail gas vendors, "gas stations", have to pay up front for the gas they will ultimately sell. When gas prices are volatile and fluctuate wildly, the retailers have to accept all the speculative risk when they purchase the gas. If they pay too much at a temporary peak in gas prices, and then the price goes down sharply, they are forced to compete with other retailers who purchased their supply a little later at a much lower price and can therefore sell at a lower price. This means the retailer either "waits it out" and refuses to sell gas until the price goes back up, or sells at a loss. Contrary to general understanding, retailers make very little money on gasoline, perhaps a few pennies on the gallon. The converse scenario also exists where the retailer can be in a position to make a better profit if the supply is obtained at a low point, and the prices rise rapidly.

Ultimately the consumer is affected because fewer stations have gas when retailer hold off on refueling or just don't sell gas, creating lines and the well known panic that we have seen and are seeing again in 11/2012 NY/NJ areas.

The price volatility may not be as significant a factor in 2012 NY/NJ in the overall crisis, as there other factors, like structural damage to deployment technology along the distribution chain that is preventing delivery. However, it is likely that the perception of potential volatility around the national elections has had some negative impact...
