You know me, I don't like to complain

Al Gore slams ‘trivialities and nonsense’ in news media:

“What is it about our collective decision-making process that has led us to this state of affairs where we spend much more time in the public forum talking about - or receiving information about - Britney Spears shaving her head or Paris Hilton going to jail?” Gore asked.

Yeah, this has been really bothering me lately. It really disturbs me how passive people can be sometimes, and I still haven’t figured out why people pretend to pay attention to certain issues around election times. There are all sorts of bogus non-issues that get trotted out at certain times of the year.

It is like being in a political Sweeps Week.

And we’re left with things nobody is going to do anything about but that will incite indignation and fear, and pop culture.

Great.

I’m feeling a little apathetic about our little knee-jerk nation today.
