My head is spinning with buzz-words. Things that will get a rise out of people.
If you flip the channel to any local or national news channel you will hear things like, "recession," "deficit," "debt," "attack," and "containment." Why do you suppose that is? They want to make us nervous. If we're scared for our lives, we won't leave our homes, we won't spend money on anything but what they want us to. How can you say no to something on the "news." It's supposed to be a valid representation of what is going on in people's lives, it's supposed to warn me of danger and inform me of opportunities. It's far too exaggerated though.
Life is much more boring (for the most part) than they would like you to believe. I'm sure that they're not doing this on purpose, they're only running a business. But at what cost?
I'll stop now; because this argument has been going on for far too long. I'll cut my losses here. Although, I think I'm already running the risk of sounding ignorant.
