Maybe you're not aware of it, but you and your friends are not the only ones who are outraged. My mother has been in a continual state of 'pissed off' ever since Reagan. That's a very real issue, too, but somehow it's not quite as media sexy nor, apparently, as 'American.' Therefore, no, I'm not particularly interested in hearing from you why you and your friends are pissed off because if I turn on the television THAT'S ALL I HEAR.
Funny, that.
