A Facebook posting has made me think of an old bit from George Carlin. I was about 10 years old when I first watched him perform on HBO back in the day, but in this 1:30 rant about the public makes a lot of sense right now. Think about it this way, how many times have you read a Facebook posting from someone that rejects facts, but yet they keeps asking for facts? Social media is soaked with this type of talk, which shows our own ignorance when it comes to talking about and dealing civic matters both local and federal. Here in the US we have forgotten how our own government is structured. If you don't believe then ask a random person to name the 3 Branches of the US Government or to explain the Electoral College.
We do get the politicians we "deserve"
