One of our favorite pastimes North o' the Border is playing armchair politics with the state of the States

I'm not sure if it's government, or mass media (do I smell conspiracy?), but in broad and very general terms, the American people seem way out of touch with what is actually going on, not only in their own country, but in the world around them.

Hey, why worry about international conflict, global warming and a president who's meager international cred is dwindling by the nano-second when you can watch a poor, spoiled, not talent brat who hasn't contributed one iota to society on CNN 24/7?

Was it Micheal Moore who coined the term "Weapons of Mass Distraction"? I think all of us, not just Americans, need to stop waiting for Big Brother to look after things. We need to get active in our own communities and champion the things we truly believe in.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE! KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD!

I'll get off my soapbox now
