Reply #138: I was once an 'informed' snob.

[CrispyQ]

I thought it was due to laziness or apathy that most people were not informed. I was working part time & had lots of time to read internet sites like Common Dreams & DU. Now I work full time & I have a fraction of the time for the internet. I certainly can't do it at work, where I am busy all day. I don't have time in the morning, racing around getting ready for work. And after work, well, hell, I actually like to spend time with my husband, don't ya know?

So I have found that the few minutes of news I get a day comes from CNN & we all know how wretched that is. Since I am aware of the sad state of our media, I make time on the weekend to get caught up. DU's Latest Breaking is a godsend. But here's the thing -- I don't even have children. I wonder how the hell people with full time jobs & kids do it? My guess is that many of them don't & that's why our country is in such a sad state of ignorance & apathy. And the powers that be want to keep it that way. Keep us grubbing for the next dollar so we're all so fucking exhausted & over stretched we don't know what's really going on.

Those Kraft dinners fit in nicely with the hectic schedules that most Americans have. ~sigh
