Most of what passes for news is commentary - a trend started by Fox and now picked up by MSNBC. Of course, as we dumb down...folks accept this for reality.
The truth is that we are in a rapid cycle of de-evolution...kids can't afford college and when they manage to go they get nothing but a technical education.
As the center of the circle cannot hold and things spin out of control folks no longer trust political institutions and turn on each other - hence the hard on for guns. We use to be a united states -- except for that small bit when we needed to abandon the concept of one person owning another (because doing so was repugnant).
Now, billionaires and corporations pit us against each other using labels that play to base sensibilities...when, in fact, what we all want is security, value for our taxes, taking care of our neighbors when they are in real need and a better future for our children.
