[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1005110, member: 14544"] My grandad is 90 something and he was in the Navy in WWII, he spent quite a bit of time teaching me about politics and the issues of our time. He spent a lot of time on committees and boards and attending various state legislature secessions just to counter those that were there for their own selfish ends. From discussions with him, the self serving has always been with us. It is nothing new, but he did a lot to fight it. I think that there were many uniformed then as there is now. But I worry that today, we have something that they didn't have then, a very polarized media and educational system. Not only do we have the uninformed, but we have the mis-informed. I think this is a big segment of our population. I don't even know how I got here, I guess it got my attention that someone was actually banned from Letterman: [url=http://tv.yahoo.com/news/david-letterman-reveals-why-banned-harmony-korine-james-050000459.html?cache=clear]http://tv.yahoo.com/news/david-letterma ... ache=clear[/url] The last line says it all: What? That is the twist that the current media puts on things, that the old would not have. The old would have called the guy a thief like they should. This article just made a victim out of him with a few strokes of the keys and some backwards logic. Yes the people have changed, but the media is driving this change in the malleable minds. It then says to the rest, you're out of touch, all your friends are doing it. I tend to think that if a true survey was done on many issues, the results would not be as far off of the general population here as we think. But if you can be convinced your an outcast, your less likely to stand up and say something is wrong. Being the salt isn't easy, sometimes I have done well, other times I have failed miserably. But I'm much better at not caring today, than I was 15 years ago. There may be hope for me yet. [/QUOTE]
