Post 9/11, we wanted to trust our government - something we haven't been able to do since the 50's. A lot of this American inactivity in rounding up the cattle that should be our representatives is due to the media and our role as the audience. I don't know if you caught it, Jeff, but former CNN anchor Aaron Brown had a great lecture at ASU, agruing some of this point. In so many words, he said: the media failed us during the tragedy of 9/11. It didn't "truth-seek," it only accepted what those Washington "leaders" fed them. When Bush said he wanted to go to Iraq, reporters wrote what he said - but they failed to write the opponent's side. [That's actually similar to the situation now: Reporters disagreeing with Bush then and Democrats disagreeing with war-hawk Republicans now is seens as anti-Americans or against our troops.]<BR/>From now on, we (as the media's audience) need to demand more of our media and our leaders. For, we've seen that our inactivity leads to their poor decisions.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your blog, Jeff, you're doing what we all need to do: question and analyze the political landscape in America and how it's affecting the country and us (as individuals). This questioning is innately American, for without it, England would still be our mother country and slavery would be as strong as ever (no matter who teaches us "American History" in school).<BR/>Keep writing, Jeff, you provide a voice that many people need.<BR/>~Andrew PentisAndrew Pentishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05775213123290762078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109147641150606432.post-42239675260483112412007-08-01T20:05:00.000-07:002007-08-01T20:05:00.000-07:00Wow--I can SO completely relate to what you have w...Wow--I can SO completely relate to what you have written here!
