I watched a captivating video this evening on YouTube. It was a clip from a recent Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, where he discussed the current political climate here in America. He made some points that I couldn't have agreed with more, and would like to further comment on them. (For those of you unfamiliar with Craig Ferguson, he is a Scottish TV talk-show host, and was also an actor in the wonderful movie Saving Grace.)
It is appalling and insulting, the way that the media here manipulates the American public. (Shame on the networks for playing such dangerous mind games.)
News should be based on facts, not agendas. (Perspective is one thing, lies are another.)
Even the whole campaign of "Rock the Vote", to motivate the youth to be more active and engaged, makes one realize how truly backwards we have gone; here we are, trying to convince people to partake of the very tenet that makes America what it is - THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
So those of you who read this, please make sure you're registered to vote where you live, so that on November 4, 2008, you can fulfill your duty as a citizen and vote for America's next president, whomever you so choose....
(Go Obama!)
