But first before I answer it because I'll forget this if I don't say it first, I don't know why I sometimes don't get notice of your blog entries until a day later. I do the Google Dashboard system and this is the second time I didn't get your entry until a day later. Weird.<br /><br />While I'm not politically minded, my husband is so I let him keep track of all that stuff politically and the just ask him questions if something seems interesting. I don't find it boring, just not interested in it. Does that make sense?<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-13108922770199232132014-06-20T14:18:37.601-07:002014-06-20T14:18:37.601-07:00There are a couple TV commentators that can make s...There are a couple TV commentators that can make some of this interesting.

I agree that it seems more entertaining to see what Kim and Kanye are doing, or watch football, or Episode VII, or whatever. <br /><br />But that's because people don't understand what government does. If people understood that in the past week the government continued the process of making the Internet more like your cable company and less like your cell phone, while at the same time rewarding a company for making books MORE expensive, while also committing us to a new part of a war that we caused and hasn't yet ended, <br /><br />... well, they probably STILL wouldn't pay attention. I don't know why that is. People don't want to pay attention. If you had John Boehner and Elizabeth Warren marrying in France and Gwyneth Paltrow started talking about net neutrality, "People" magazine would have Boehner/Warren on the cover.<br /><br />I don't think we can blame government for our refusal to pay attention to what the government is doing.<br /><br />Good question, though.Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-41367085692404999172014-06-19T17:09:36.281-07:002014-06-19T17:09:36.281-07:00I'm guilty of tuning out when it's so tech...I'm guilty of tuning out when it's so technical or boring or so full of legal jargon that I can't figure it out. I am always glad when someone can bring things like this to light and entertain me AND give me something I can do about it.

I'm glad he's taken his talents to his own show and making a difference. I get a little depressed when I watch The Daily Show--our politicians do the craziest things and there's nothing we can do about it.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.com
