Folks. I don't know if I can do it!!!!!!!!!

It is my opinion that a lack of knowledge and apathy with the political system is what has landed us in the situation that we are in now.

that and a steady diet of Soviet style propaganda..

Lets agree to not talk politics in a forum that says politics are causing someone trouble.

can we reinforce all that is good with the country we live in.

build and discuss trailers.

I know I'm glad I live here I've been to many other country's I like the good ol' USA best.

I stopped paying attention to the news when it stopped being news and started being infotainment. Now it's all about who has the most blood or the biggest disaster first.

No thanks. Politicians cater to newsies and newsies create a platform for politicians. Send the lot of 'em to the moon, says I.

I call the inevitable condition that ALWAYS results, sooner or later, OUTRAGE FATIGUE. Paying too close attention to the venality and greed of politicians is probably a necessary social function, a dirty job that someone has to do. I just wanna go camping.

Best to turn to Mark Twin (1835-1910) for some wisdom on the issue:

No way to win here:
“If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.â€
