Editor,
Our media, in its frenzy to put out news 24/7, has fallen into a habit of reporting personal interviews and panel discussions endlessly. These interviews and panel discussions are so relentless that “We The People,” who are watching, listening and absorbing all this, are also being subjected to poll upon poll. Where is this all leading?
We are all human. We are all vulnerable. We all can be swayed in our opinions simply by hearing others relentlessly expressing points of view rather than working out our own decision-making process. Why make the effort to work out my own thoughtful opinion when someone will do the work for me?
The United States of America is presently a very divided nation. We are divided, not by a healthy democratic process aimed at sensible resolution, but rather by fear, greed, anger and political stagnation. It is time to wake up.
