6. It's cool to be cruel. The right wing media has made it OK to be selfish,
telling their listeners/ viewers that they should be ANGRY that their tax dollars are going to help the hungry the uninsured, the homeless, etc. Hell, Glenn Beck is even stating that it's CHRISTIAN to expect people to fend for themselves, pull themselves up by their bootstraps. And people that find themselves in such dire circumstances surely deserve it because they are lazy, don't want to work, were irresponsible. Empathy is for suckers! Life has become a pathetic reality show. Vote that unemployed guy and his family OFF the island.


It is a sad country in which selfishness and indifference are glorified.
