that would on the surface aper to be so but many of the radical left as well as right watch this programing and are significant influenced by what to you and i is obvious posturing. to them its just proof positive to there extreme points of view.
I think an important factor here is to realize that to some existent theirs a increment of mental illness here probably not measurable but its defiantly there. originating in Congress/Sent and confounded further by radical fundamentalist as well as extreme left Sides.
Which brings up what i think is the bases for most of whats wrong with the US. mental illness is ruining amok here. we have the highest depression rates in the western world as well as a host of other personality disorders. it sad to say but much of whats wrong with the US is based on this.
and if you look at the Romans they has a similar type of acting out and control problems as well as paranoia in the last 200 year of there empire. i know i often come off as a downer but to me it totally clear that the current state of afars has reached a tipping point. I'm not sure what way it will go but as i stated in the beginning of this thread i believe that one side or the other will assert its self threw a violent act that will be the catalyst for a civil war. the social stresses puling at are society culminating in a hyper political environment has the potential for highly volatile behaver.
