Americans are too busy being preoccupied on whats woke, whether teachers should say gay to kids under a certain age, and whether the same kids should be allowed to see… drag shows? Also what books can be allowed in libraries, what textbooks should say, and whether people should be able to wear guns visibly in holsters.

Cheers!



All that noise comes from a small number of people at the extremes. The average person is not paying any attention to any of that.


It seems challenging to avoid the noise if you want to consume news and know whats going on in the world. Even turning on 1010 WINS in the car I have to hear about some Texas college president arguing that Drag Shows are like Minstrel Shows.

Maybe I should change the radio out and put in something with an audio input or whatever the norm is to connect old car speakers to an iDevice :)


>if you want to consume news and know whats going on in the world

The thing is if you are consuming that sort of media then you aren't really going to know what is going on in the world.

It's that old dilemma. Don't read the news and you will be uninformed, read the news and you will be misinformed.
