Honestly, Don’t Be Such a Twat
I was in the restroom the other day and heard to guys talking briefly about how they've been trying to avoid the political content on TV. One of them suggested that he started listening to the Jazz station to get away from it all. But the thing that really got me is that he didn't even hear the whole inauguration speech and that he couldn't wait for "things to go back to normal." For fuck's sake man, I wouldn't have believed that a person could be so complacent if I hadn't heard it myself. I remember hearing similar comments during the week after 9/11. I was in college and people were upset their normal shows weren't on TV any longer and they couldn't get away from the news. I'm not a big political buff, but I at least have an understanding of what's going on in my world. You shouldn't be trying to avoid information on the future of our States, but rather seeking it out.
Even if you didn't vote for our new president, realize that it's an important event in the history of our nation. Don't be so eager to get back to your consumerism. Give me a break and watch the first decent presidential speech in 8 years. :/
Edit: Also...the inauguration was YESTERDAY. you think you could handle some imformation your notnormally used to for at least a day.
