For Sale - Democracy

I went to bed last night with a sinking feeling in my stomach. The 1% had successfully bought and paid for the elections in Wisconsin. This is a terrible tragedy for democracy.  Sadly, we no longer know what is true in our world. Since the beginning of television and radio, we have blindly believed what we've heard or seen in the media. Maybe I am being naive, but wasn't there some level of integrity in the media once upon a time? Now, we have a select number of very wealthy individuals buying advertising around the country to further their personal wealth and agendas. In these ads, they blatantly lie. And many Americans fall for these lies. Have we become a nation of idiots, of unthinking doddles who have no motivation to seek truth?

I am hoping the FDA comes out with a study that shows consuming too much cheese inhibits brain function. If not, we are in a world of trouble.
