Uhhh Matt, my point is that it's the same old argument. Thing are fucked and if people don't know it than they are too stupid to try to educate in the first place.
My point is that all the America is evil rhetoric is a boring restating of arguable facts. People fool themselves to thinking they are political my restating what some right or left wing publication already said. It is rare that I see a high level of thinking that moves beyond stating the obvious and moves towards dicussing the solution not the problem. For GW the solution seems to be bomb Iraq so people forget the economy is struggling.
That's why I typically stay out of political rants, because people don't really have discussions, they just sling supposed facts back and forth. It's like listening to a protestant and a catholic throw bible verses back and forth trying to convince the other that they are right, they are merely regurgetating information, while knowingly set in their motives to prove the other wrong as opposed to seeking a higher state of understanding.
