Yes, and when you try to present, with backing evidence, the real facts of a story or issue, there eyes just glaze over, or you get sheep-like mantras in reply.

Very frustrating. I've always been of the mind that the U.S. will just have to wear the narcissistic boomers like a millstone around our necks until they start keeling over in 15 year or so.

Just say no to drugs!
