It's called outrage fatique, PR.
I've think I've had it for decades. And, FWIW, it isn't getting any better (for me, I mean) with Obama in office, either.
Things keep getting more outrageous, more Orwellian, and still the sheeple think politics is a game with two sides, one good and one bad, each vying for power by winning their vote.
Can people really be that naive? Do they really think this game is white hats and black ones?
If you read this board, they surely do.
They're young editec... they don't have a lot to draw upon when it comes to retrospect. I know exactly what you're saying.
Yup, I think that explains it.
Odd, isn't it?
As we get older more typically we'd be expected to be more sanguine about the world. Clearly that isn't happening this generation.
The angriest people on this board are almost all also the oldest political players.
But for many of us, many of us even if we have diametrically different views as you and I do, we BOTH find ourselves wondering if these nitwits will ever wake up from their 8th grade civics delusional points of view.
Our nation is going to shit, PR, both parties are part of that process, and you and I both see that even if we cannot agrree about much else..
In all likelihood we would probably point out many of the same people turning it into a gigantic turd-pile, too.
Move to the country, dude. Take your brothers and sisters and create your own community if they let you.
I say
if they let you because I know, speaking as a hippi, that those whose views are outside the norm often cannot create a life no matter how hard they try to isolate themselves from society at large.
