Regrets: I Have a Few

Story is here.

Again, half the public is only in double figures in IQ and there is such a great aversion or apathy to politics that too many people either get only a drive by sketch of what is actually going on during campaigns or they don't even bother to vote because they don't feel connected to the political process enough. Or they don't just like to think.

Anyone should be able to see a lot of these political ads for what tey are, childish propaganda that attempts to divert them from contemplating the real issues facing this country. But even when the media is refusing to do that then the kind of people I described in my first paragraph here fall for it and screw themselves or they get too confused and say the heck with it and essentially forfeit their right to vote.
