2. I have a theory.

The general public is exhausted. Starvation, underemployed/unemployment and poverty have us so beat down, we can't think.

There's no time to keep up with the truth or the lies when you are trying to run a household, hoping to find the time and money to get to town to the food bank (on the one day it is open) and then to the doctor, to get birth control or medicine for the kids, all while bumming a ride with your crazy cousin that requires gas money or she will not give you a ride.

Logistics alone are time consuming and exhausting. Just ask your mother.

Notwithstanding the MSM is just a propaganda machine on free Tee Vee, which is all you can afford... unless you trade your EBT card for cash to pay your cable bill, which is now $300, because you were late last month.

I have learned buckets on my one woman voter registration drive around my world. Buckets for a lifetime. This Friday at 1700, that drive ends for me for 2014. I know that I have done my small part and I pray to Gawd that hearts and minds have been opened by my efforts.

Love, Peace and the Righteous Fight!
