Hours and hours and hours of worthless, brainless, overanalysis of non-events, spouting opinion programs masquerading as news... A decline in the way WE WERE EDUCATED as kids, and it's getting worse, so that we lack critical thinking skills. The inability to see anything resembling the whole picture. We see the little tiny slice that makes us feel good and we vote on that. Yeah, I'm a little pissed right now. This species has amused itself to death
