its very sad

[historian]

that the american great unwashed public only gets into a tizzie when sex is involved. Starting wars, lying and remvoing civil liberties only raise a collective yawn. in other words, be a dishonest politician if you want what do i care? as opposed to ooooohhhh sex!!! now i do care.
How childish we have become.

4. nitpicking

well sorry then but you know what i mean.

5. No no I wasn't nit-picking

I agree fully with you...
I think the people in the media and a few I personally know who try to use the "Oh don't you care about children" argument on those who think this absurd theatre is ..well absurd, are full of it...
At least the people I personally know...I have never seen this degree of moral outrage over other unspeakable things that have happened to children in these last years...

Some of these same people have looked at me with glazed eyes when I have talked about whats happening in Darfur...

Look I feel sorry for the pages and m sorry this happened to them, but if you have no moral outrage over whats happening in darfur, raI etc. then it really seems like you only care about American children...

7. i care yes

but when i mentioned the word children i wasnt really referring to them - i was referring to a childish mentality.

2. our national character has failed, yes. but I also think this is the

accumulated straw that broke the collective camel's back.

3. we have lowered our standards so bad this is because of

how this government has brought us down, or should I say Dumbed us down, We can be better than this.

6. True but if you're offered lemons

make lemonade, sit back and chill. You can change nothing without power so take it by any means necessary.
