Why you are "politically obtuse".


From a post on freerepublic; the OP had suggested taking Obama-voting friends to see the movie 2016:




We are living in two different worlds at the same time.

There seem to be those that are thoughtful and well meaning but have acquiesced to the masses, real or perceived, for the sake of simplicity in their lives.

Long held, and a healthy sense of cynicism is not without irony.

I share your frustrations and find it exceedingly troubling that so many people just don’t care.

They don’t care to LEARN anything.

They don’t care to READ anything.

They don’t care to truly UNDERSTAND our country.

They don’t care to LISTEN.

They don’t know HISTORY.

They don’t understand LIBERTY.

Sorry to be so cynical myself, but my experience has been that in which virtually everyone I talk to,seemingly intelligent professionals, when pressed even just slightly, recoil to the safety of their ignorance.

BTW, GOOG, like MSFT has achieved the critical mass which makes the barriers to entry a hurdle most would be competitors are likely to avoid. I’m not saying they can’t be taken down.
