[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 240185, member: 439"] Oh, I'm in too! I don't watch the news, and I only listen to radio for the weather report (which usually is wrong) and the traffic report (which usually says there's a back up when I'm already stuck in it). I try to keep up on news - I mean real information, not the 30 second entertainment soundbites that pass for news - on the internet from various sources including those not in the US. But I also tend to focus more on local than national and international. I try to make a change in my own little world, and hope that it will then move outwards to the rest. But I agree with many of you - the whole entitlement issue really leaves me shaking my head. I was raised with the following: Life is not fair. Get used to it. If you want something in life, find some way to work for it. So far, it's gotten me through the good times and the bad times. I am owed nothing in this life. [/QUOTE]
