Proof that people don't care: we still have the same broke-as-fuck two party system. I'm not a big fan of McCain or Obama and there is not a single thing I can do about it.

Sometimes I think we need another World War or we need to reinstate the draft to WAKE PEOPLE UP. Why should people care about the news and politics when they can turn on the tube and ignore the problems in our world?

There's no draft, people don't have to fight. They don't remind people that a billion people in the world survive on less than a dollar a day. There's no news flash showing the children dying in African countries from lack of food and water. Ignorance is the best kind of bliss....

I just wonder what will happen when our current generation is forced to pick up politics.
