Local and national news has brought nothing new. The items we call news should be reclassified
as information as that is what it is. Once you see or read it then it is no longer “new”. This may be why we
tend to ignore it the second time from another source. This unintentional closing off may be the reason we
vote as we do. I believe the people who run for office have used this tactic to lull or prod us into voting
in their favor almost against our will. The load of information is so huge as to shut down our brains and stop
any close examination of their track records, background and what they really stand for. This has been the
case for years and accelerated when TV became the mass media and in every home. We have become like
chickens who have been hypnotized by a line in the dirt. The media in all of its forms gives us poor, watery thin gruel in the guise of good hearty soup. We have allowed it to become entertainment. The “exploiticians” have used this to great effect in getting re-elected time after time. They have been dishing up the same poor fare for years and we have taken it without a whimper because it sounds good. I use food
references because we all have to eat so consider the artichoke-you have to peel it to get at the heart. Lets
start peeling these politicians who have run this country in to the ground from the local level to the Federal
level and made us pay for it. Do not believe the media blitzes, get the facts or if nothing else vote for
someone new. We put them in and we can put them out. There are no “honest politicians”. There are once
honest men and women who are jockeying for power and making deals to ultimately enhance themselves.
