People sure like to hear themselves talk, even when they don't have much worth saying. The vast majority here, on both sides, seem incredibly uninformed.

But for me, the funniest of all was the claim that the media is to blame for the disaster that has been the Bush presidency. I agree that they have been complicit and should be roundly condemned for that, but to claim the media, and not the current adminsitration, are the primary reason our country's current failures domestically and abroad, is the height of narrow thinking.

Maybe the best advice here was to read Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America. Thanks Brian. Democracy only works with an informed populace that has the ability to think critically. Thus, our problem.
