Very good and interesting thread, imo...

I suspect "we", the general population of MickeyD's chomping,
Walmartized great unwashed, that comprise 80% of this wonderful
United States, could care little about the unbelieveable stuff that goes
on every day here or, in the world.

Many/most of the that "fine majority" would much prefer the latest
from ANS's "nanny" vs anything resembling hard or, "more important"
news or any kind of wonderment about "where this country or the
world is going" and, "who's 'guiding' us there".

We are DrPhil'd, JerrySpringer'd, Oprha'd, ET'd to a fookin pulp, imo.
Add in those "cogent comment" updates that ratttle the 24/7 cable
"news" stations, and as Paul Simon wrote, "It's a wonder I can think
at all." We are WalmartNation, unfortunately.

Thanks for letting me do a Sunday morn' rant.
Good Luck to all of us; we shall need it.
