PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE!!!

Have you ever noticed how people who are writing about politics are always admonishing everybody else to pay attention? Usually they will put it entirely in caps with more than two exclamation points. Obviously they have no idea how how insulting that is. I sincerely doubt that any one person who writes that is more informed than me. I'm not bragging, I just don't know of anybody who consumes as much news and opinion as I do. But just like the ones who lament the "stupid voters" after the election, it's their curious assumption that it was because they just weren't diligent enough in gathering and digesting all the proper information. And that of course is what they are reading. Because we all know they couldn't possibly understand this and just think differently about it. No, that's not possible.
