Why ios that? and what does that say about our society? are we doing good in education ? are we a lazy breed? is it our parents fault?

who it is and what it says about our society is that we are either too lazy, too self involved or too cynical to believe that our one vote can make any difference at all.
Yes we can be a very lazy breed, sometimes too lazy to actually think about the broader issues involved in the political process. GWB was elected because of 2 issues. gay marriage and the war... people were far to lazy to look past those issues.
Is it our parent fault? I don't believe it is. But how the next generation grows up and what they do WILL be our fault.
and of course we are behind in education, and there are a lot of factors that have led us there.
I am not a true liberal, a lot of what liberals (or the new catch label 'progressives') believe i think is a bunch of bullshit. but I will be unemployed soon probably so it doesnt matter what i think
