Quote:I think we would all do well to not care so much about things that don't really affect us.

 

I mean.. let's face it, our country is rapidly going down a certain fecal creek without a certain implement to control the boat... and we care about these kinds of things? I honestly think it's all just a smoke screen that politicians use to make us not think about our crippling debt and the fact that China owns more and more of us every day.

 

THAT's the truth.. and most of us took the bait, hook, line and sinker.

 

I don't disagree with you that vast amounts of the horse poop that comes from the mouths of those in power is spit shine to a turd and I don't disagree that making a huge issue out of gay rights (for either side) can be very beneficial to a bunch of crooks (on either side) who don't want to be held to account for being useless.

 

That doesn't change the fact that there is inequality and that it is still a real issue that affects a lot of American families.

 

Just because it isn't a big of an issue as national debt or war in the middle east, doesn't mean we should just ignore it, sometimes the small things matter too.
