Sadly, civics is an area of education that is brushed over as a senior year course (along with economics) in high school and given little thought thereafter. Understandable (given the state of both the government and the economy) until it becomes moot. That we have cretins like Roberts sitting in judgment on us is not a symptom of our plight but a necessary part of the machinery. That we don't understand this is maddening.
Umm, this is not what the proponents of the Information Age told us would happen.
Maybe they were lying or, maybe, the free market offering 500 cable channels, 485 of them for shopping, reality and Fox News shows, was always a scam with a purpose.

Umm, nope. Notice the fine print--those were the possible answers offered by the pollsters in a multiple choice question.
Those names represent random wrong guesses.
