People just pay attention to thinks that are easier for them to understand.
I seriously stop paying attention when my dad starts talking about exactly what goes on w/an oil rigs inner workings. I know he stop paying attention when I'm telling him the steps involved with media buying. Neither one of us are really going to ever use that info, but in a way - we could.
The actual legislative process is - b/c what happens when a law is trying to be passed to change it so that (what if) the Prez calls for Marital Law & then he will be the sole ruler of America? Yeah, if not many ppl even care about these things then the government can change around them effecting little things in daily life - such as having to all have chips implanted in my shoulder blades.
People can't let media (propaganda) make their choices instead of seeing past the hype & making their own choices.
The human brain can do a lot more than scientists can even measure.

I'm not sure what that means.
but hey, I really appreciate all forms of entertainment from tv watching to hardcore raving but I would be so sad if I really believed everything the media tried to spin to me as a fact. Actually I would also be crazy if I came up w/the idea that "everyone" is out to get me. Those conspiracy types drive me nuts as well.
