    Cable news even tells you how you should interpret the news they report through commentary from their ‘expert’ philosophers, and provides short, concise talking points to repeat consistently should any one of your ‘elitist’ peers try to assert that these issues we ponder have many more layers of gray and angles to consider.

    Thanks, I remember that. An early version of “hanging chad”. I was born and raised in Florida. Texas and Florida both became states in 1845. I know. I was there.

    Newspapers actually performed this function back then. People actually DID have these arguments – just like people argue now over our issues. They used ad hominem just as slickly as our commentators today.

    Wikipedia lists 290 political ideologies. If you are only capable of two choices, you are what is wrong with your country.
