I was thinking very similar things. I don't know that much about Bob Barr. I've seen him throughout the years on a many interviews. I can say it is very interesting that people are talking revolt, war and general disgust but can't seem to think there are more than two parties. Granted, I voted for Ron Paul, Nader and Perot before that. None of them won nor were "electable", but I can sleep at night for not settling for the chosen candidate of a party. We don't choose the people to run, parties and the media does.
I sleep well at night.:)
The thing that is funny about this is that it isn't the news that determines what is reported. It is the news station. They are thinking about the almighty dollar. I used to think that with 24 hours news that there wouldn't be a story missed. When Fox News started I was so excited to see that CNN would have competition and they wouldn't have all of those crossfire propagandists where questions aren't answered. You have to fill up all of that time, so why not report about the news. Instead, you just get more and more commentary/propaganda. It is fine as long as people are aware that is what it is. I just want to know do you have to do to be called a news station.
Also, it just makes me think, how many stories were squashed because it conflicted with the news station or wouldn't bring enough money? What other pieces of information am I really missing?
