oh I agree with you... i just hate how it's always 100 people looking in the lounge to the 10 in the Politics... not that one is better than the other or that more people should come here. What I don't understand is when people get angry at the ones who want to talk politics, in the politics section. I know more people read in the lounge and a post is probably read more up there, but why don't people get mad at the 100 people who don't care enough about the politics to read through these posts. Shelby, you've been good at coming down here and reading things and posting... but look through the threads, it's only a few people each time writing things.

I guess I'm just upset that more people find the crap that is being talked abuot in the lounge more interesting than the things that effect thier lives. It's by an almost 10x majority as well. I'm mad at the people who know this is important and want to talk about/spread the word about it... but are to lazy to post it down here and to follow up down here. A lot of people don't go to both and it's sad. Really sad that they choose to talk about shit rather than educational/historical things.... just translates america in a nutshell, which is why I am most upset.

People see it as a problem that there are more people in the lounge so they should post the most important things in there, when I see it as a problem that the majority of people see the lounge as the most important forum and don't worry about what's in it.

"There's no doubt that one of the major issues of twentieth century history, surely in the US, is corporate propaganda... Its goal from the beginning, perfectly openly and consciously, was to 'control the public mind,' as they put it. The reason was that the public mind was seen as the greatest threat to corporations."

- Noam Chomsky, "Propaganda and Control of the Public Mind"

^ the reason we think American Idol, Your Momma Jokes, and other stupid television propaganda shit... the reason no one cares about politics and only the more expensive, better things in life...


Another commandment america seem to leave off the list... and fuck there are only ten of them... can america get any of them right?
