What d'you mean "we", Kimosabe?
But he goes on:
It used to be that just the so-called "Red States" (come to think of it, the Red-Blue thing was pretty stupid) were allergic to facts. But now it's all of us. We just sit here and take it all in, complain about gas prices when oil companies run the White House, wonder why the airlines are collapsing and there is no transportation alternative: It's the stupidity, stupid! While we were sidetracked by John Edwards' haircuts, the oil companies got Congress to destroy Amtrak for them — Bangladesh now has a more efficient passenger rail system than we do. While we sat transfixed by the magnificence of Angelina Jolie's lips and Britney Spears' shaven crotch, Croatia, Latvia and Albania moved ahead of the United States on the global Environmental Sustainability Index. While we munched freedom fries and stockpiled duct tape, our national treasury was looted. And so on.

We the people didn't used to be this dumb. Or maybe we're just stupefied b

were allergic to facts.

Tell us about it.

Oh, I'm all TOO friggin' aware of the elections. How can we not be with all the crap that the MSM gives us...not much truth..but whatever--it's a lot of something...I salute your gung-ho election enthusiasm...but I lost mine when the Media and the Dem Party once again ripped off the voters by marginalizing any progressive CANDIDATES WITH BALLS TO REALLY CHALLENGE THE SYSTEM THAT HAS US UNDER IT'S THUMB.
You think we're changing anything if the Corporate/military/industrial/congressional complex still rules the economy in 4 years--or even 8? These elections may change SOME things--but i seriously doubt that business won't go on just as it has...I'll be voting and holding my nose all the way--AGAIN!!!

i guess i'm officially a curmudgeon. Blagh!

Unless you were trying to throw balls into the gutter - how could you actually bowl a 37?
