It’s deja vu all over again. Remember way back when the discussion was the lack of intelligence of our new President? This was pre 9/11. We all thought it, but no one would say it. The media looked the other way. And then Iraq. The media let us down more severely, by allowing the government to get away with misleading the public. And here we go again. McCain’s VP pick is the most boneheaded move conceivable. Yet the Repubs are spinning faster than a summer tornado, and the media is eating it up. Has no one got the guts to say what we all are thinking?? McCain is no maverick, he is a loose cannon. I personally wonder if his POW experience did not damaged this man, and perhaps now in his old age the psychological wounds are surfacing in some sort of dementia. I mean this sincerely. Has anyone done a psych evaluation on the man? Isn’t it required?
My greatest fear is that America is becoming it’s own bad reality show. I fear that people would rather eat up sensational news and events rather than deal with issues that effect their lives. When you consider how much of our media is under corporate ownership, controlled by big money, how can we hope to construct truth. In the end, how can we hope to change this country???
