An itsy bitsy rant on cluelessness

I just needed to vent a little, you know, like any other blogger who has to, otherwise he/she will just burst. I just want to say wake the f*** up people. I know that no one wants to watch CSPAN and I understand that but by the looks of it, today's youth seems like it doesn't even have a dying interest in news because they never had one to begin with!!!! I mean come on! Do you really know what's going on this world? Half of the things that I bring up in a conversation of what I learned about what our politicians are up to are unknown to others. I know it sounds stupid for the next thing for me to say is "I don't mean to be rude" (Simon from American Idol), but when do you ask a 20-something year old or a teenager "what's the name of your local mayor?" and you get a correct answer?

It's not an unknown fact but is something that is avoided most of the time to not be rude. However, this is just like saying to an obese person "you're not fat" to avoid hurting their feelings; same thing to those who don't think that they don't need to care about what's happening on Capitol Hill for instance! Is it that hard to get a small piece of useful information that will determine who you vote for next at a political poll? Are you too busy partying at the clubs on weekends or watching reality shows that do not affect you in the slightest way, to not bother on looking up the status of a bill that could help or harm your future?

I mean, these are serious questions that should be asked every single day, especially during these times when another crooked politician could be embezzling money. Why doesn't anybody ask questions about our politicians as much as we used to a couple of decades ago? Why is today's youth so inactive in comparison to the hippies who protested war by putting flowers in riflemen's gun barrels? I know that that's a bit much of asking a person to face someone with a gun like that, but can we at least show the slightest bit... no, a huge amount of interest and dedication to our country? Maybe we're just too distracted by the large amounts of entertainment that's provided for us today? I would like to know their secrets in how they rake in so many ratings.

So, if there is anybody... ANYBODY out there who gives a damn, then please lend me some ideas on how I can make the public more aware of what's going on around them. Maybe I'll do a video just like others have done and posted on youtube and ask people of what they know about our nation's history, politics, and whatnot to show how dumb Americans can really be (when really this has been done to death). And I also would like to ask of those who are reading this to ask me, of why you should watch CSPAN because I'll will so much enjoy giving you answers and I'll probably make you think twice before you watch another "reality" show.

I'd like to thank the makers of bing.com for the photo (searching has NEVER been easier). Now, I think I'll put Clueless on my Netflix list; I've never seen it and heard it got some good reviews.
