Copied from a post I posted in a Facebook discussion.

One of the difficulties in today's world is many people expect simple one sentence answers to very complicated issues. The reality is that many of our problems are complex and the result from many years of decisions and actions and in action.

The fact that we have a President that wants to have an adult dialogue with the American people is a ... See Moregood thing. The fact that too many people tune out instead of engage says more about them than it does our President.

Look at this post. It was a simple question are you watching the SOTU. How many engaged in conversation vs. How engaged in name calling.

Too many people, especially on the right feel that they blindly spit out garbage about President Obama, Democrats, and Liberals. For many years I have ignored them This last go around I have become more vocal about answering their idiotic unsubstantiated rants with logic (hopefully), facts and dialogue. The above passage was I added to a discussion that simply started with someone asking who was watching the SOTU.

I tried, but got sick of hearing, I , I , I , I....not we the people
He does seem quite self centered.
all talk, no show


I have a question...Michelle Obama keeps coming on and talking about Haiti and how it's so bad and all this and how we can donate to the red cross. I'm curious home much the Obamas how donated out of their own pockets to Haiti

This was just some of the babble going on.

Have these people simply lived in a bubble where everyone agrees? Have others been too intimidated to answer them? Do they simply not care?
