A political student group at Texas Tech University released a video named “Politically-Challenged.” In the video students were asked very simple questions like “Who is the vice president?” and “Who won the Civil War?” and their answers were nothing short of appalling. Many didn't appear to know what the Civil War or the War of Independance were, let alone what the issues were. However they all knew the names of Brad Pitt's wives and who Snooki is.
I think the current political situation is the result of a cult of celebrity, the worship of money and a widespread tolerance or even pride of ignorance.
Or, maybe it's worse:

Harmonicanick, as much as I like talking politics, politics and blues harmonica forums don't seem to mix well. (Blues harp and politics mix just fine, but when you add the word 'forum' on the end it all goes to hell in a handbasket.)
I'm going to err on the side of caution on this one and lock it down and let Adam know. If he wants to take on the elephant in the room he can. (Your question was polite and no sanction is attached to this lockdown.)
The Civil War in 1965? Did she really say that? ..... Wow!
I can't comment on this anymore. Lol.
I think H.O.B. hit it on the head.
Haha ... yes Carlin was GOD. I saw his very last tour live. Only time i got to see him. ---------- "Trust Those Who Seek The Truth. Doubt Those Who Say They Have Found It."
