Bob: I appreciate the post.

I think a lot of posts parrot 'party line' answers because Americans get their news second-hand, spun and filtered unless they really *work* at getting information.

Personally, I wish there was a similar level of political involvement here as in most of the rest of the world. Instead, folks know more about the minutia of their favorite sports teams than they do about national politics. And that's just sad.
