I blame the lack of rational thought. People that I thought were smart have the mental capacity of a chimp when it comes to rational thought. Look at a situation, look at possible solutions or answers, formulate a response.

These college educate people that I thought were smart let others tell them how to think. On both sides.

Social media let’s everyone that thinks the same way feed each other’s Id and it becomes a whirlwind.

Media itself is the biggest issue. I have the best way to correct that. News must be verified. Any unverified story shall be called opinion until verified. Any News that is found to be false shall be retracted in Font larger than the original story complete with the person responsible and signed by the owner of the news organization. Video and radio news retractions shall be the lead stories read by the owners of the stations.

“Social media let’s everyone that thinks the same way feed each other’s Id and it becomes a whirlwind.”

That is so true and a huge issue. No matter how off-grid one’s thoughts are, he can get validated somewhere in the social media pig sty.

The left who want to kill the police and fry them like bacon, are suddenly outraged that an officer was killed.

It amazes me how much ignorance fits in an 8lb cranium.

the more people rely on .gov for their happiness and wealth, the more they will care what .gov is doing. and the more they will ask .gov to increase their happiness and wealth, but what they don't know, or care about, it that other's happiness and wealth will have to decrease to increase those banging at the doors of .gov.

i choose to have as little to do with .gov as possible.

in DC, they have the following police forces, with overlapping jurisdictions:

1) FBI
2) Secret Service
3) DC police
4) Capitol Hill police
5) DHS
6) Dept. of State security
7) Federal protective services (they protect federal buildings)
8) Park Police
9) House Sergeant of Arms
10) Senate Sergeant of Arms
11) Military Police (at various .mil bases in the city), and even then, that is divided by .mil branch
12) National Guard (when called up)

and as we saw, if there is a problem in one part of the city, everyone has to look at the map to figure out if they are allowed to help out or not.

might want to take a look at slimming down that mess a bit, or at least letting everyone play in all the sand boxes.

MSM and social media. On either side...how many would show up if there were no cameras from the MSM or their very own camera phones?
