I think it will be in proportion to the numbers who actually utilize the Internet for research.

We went to a Christmas party yesterday. Age ranges from 30-75, mostly Republicans, mostly attorneys or their employees. The ones who use the Net for research and who understand how to differentiate between hype and reality were the most informed. Even the Grand Old Man was less informed and he admitted that the Internet had happened "too late" for him. Although, he was fully aware that the local rag was suppressing truth and hyping ideology.

OTOH, it is really important, IMO, to take a hard look at just how successful we have been so far and just how often our declared and undeclared enemies have failed.

I know that I have reached an age where I simply cannot function while being furious/worried/anxious/afraid. My antidote is to log on to FR and use the rest of the Internet research opportunities to gauge just what is a real threat and how much of a threat it really is

One of the couples does fit your example of using the internet.

The other couple and my wife are luddites and use the internet at business and to order something at home.

I am like you when you described yourself in your last paragraph:

"I know that I have reached an age where I simply cannot function while being furious/worried/anxious/afraid. My antidote is to log on to FR and use the rest of the Internet research opportunities to gauge just what is a real threat and how much of a threat it really is."

When we travel, and I can't get to the internet and can only hear what or read what the MSM wants us to believe, it is very easy to get discouraged. I learned about 4 years ago, to put those emotions and concerns in check until I can get home to see what my Freepers have to say about any pseudo issue the MSM brings up. My wife will say on some situations while vacation, lets wait until you get home to research this on FR before you and I get upset.
