Wake up! (Score 1)

I think this is troubling, the question we should be asking is why are are people no longer interested in the so-called boring news? This reflects that people are feeling increasingly disconnected from the real world, and becoming more immersed in their own fantasy worlds. After all, why engage with a broken political process? The more I follow politics, the more depressed I get. Who wants to feel depressed? This is great news for the people pulling the strings (elites, corporations). They have indulged escapism for a long time, and they only keep getting better at it. They have sedated the vast majority of the public with American Idol and bikini shots. Hence, there is no outrage, only apathy. Fifty years ago I bet there would be a march on Washington by now, over the health care legislation. But who wants to miss football? I wish people would wake up.
