Tom Kawczynski - Off the Record

Sometimes, I begin to understand why people don't seek to learn too much about the way the world works.

We have certain subjects we are comfortable talking about and arguing about.  We debate tax policy or zoning codes, and stick to areas where we can disagree comfortably.  The media has its limits, looking at crimes and small thefts, but not examining bigger issues.

There is a widespread assumption the battle in American politics is between the big business policies of the right versus the big government policies of the left.  While this might be occasionally true, what if the greater truth is big business and big government are comfortably working with one another, and the real loser is the people.

Who represents us amidst a sea of money and profits in the billions.  I wonder, but I already know the answer.  I think many others do also, but we don't want to believe these things so we pretend.  But the truth is still true.
