Oblivious to politics

So today my government teacher spent the entire class period yelling at us and telling us how the youth of America have no clue what is going on in the world around them and all we watch is mtv.

I watched mtv last night and I don't really know who my state senators are and I voted green party last time I voted... four years ago... I just checked the box that said, "vote all green party" at the end because I didn't know alot of the names...

Should I take my teacher's advice and actually read the newspaper and not get my news from David Letterman and be a productive member of society? Does anyone else here do that? :arr:

I would say that if the youth of America were to be a little more in the know, then they'd have more of a clue than most of your politcians do in the government.

I mean, some of yours guys honestly think that Britain's NHS is a breeding ground for terrorists! What is that about? They're just making excuses to not have one themselves.

Truth. Maybe I should get a subscription to New York Times. I'm going to make it the cool thing to do.

And so you went ahead with an essay about how the political elite is running campaigns to influence teachers and everyone to believe such things, rite?

Well... I didn't really know the politically elite are making those kinds of accusations. I haven't watched the news in a while. If I did know though I definitely would have written the essay!

That's not possible. They keep watering it down and adding more ridiculous plots so they can keep producing moar seasons.
And then they can make more money. They should get better stunts though. I'd like to see Bush or Obama jump across high rises.
