No it's called having a life.

And part of that life is knowing at least a little of what goes on in your local, state, and federal government. It is part of being a responsible adult. I have no problem with people who do not take an interest, so long as they do not vote or express any opinions with regards to the operation of the local, state, or federal government. I find they are the ones that tend to gripe the most about how their life are affected by government at all levels though.

But you can know plenty about what goes on in governments without obsessing on it. It's not like you can do much about it one way or the other. Every two years you get to vote for a congressman, every 4 a president, and scattered over a 6 year period you get to vote on two different senators. Just how much time should someone obsess on all that? Meanwhile during the course of all that they're going to make dozens of mortgage or rent payments, eat thousands of meals, and spend tens of thousands of hours earning money to pay for all that. The clearly obviously intelligent priority of a person's life is everything but the government, and calling people stupid for that is asinine and ridiculous.
