When I watch people like Keith and John Stuart I’m sorry I’m a Libertarian because it means it’s my job to educate those who fall prey to the polarization tactics of corporate media providers. They know what demographics they’re playing to through constant focus groups. They know you right down to your toilet reading and the White Stripes songs you ripped off of an illegal site. They plug in the topics and the products all the same. They rig the game so that free markets can’t work on their own, instead of an invisible hand, we get an invisible opinion group! Like there’s any question as to why John Stuart’s book is selling at Borders overstock for 30% off! Ralph Nader, at least he has the courage to speak his mind directly to his demographic, so they know that someone old cares about them. Then they can piss off their establishment parents when they throw away their vote on a car wreck of a candidate. If knowing and sharing the stories and opinions that don’t get covered is a crime, then I’m a freedom-fighting-revolutionary-criminal. Many people know the choices in front of them only serve the status quo, I’m here to say there are alternatives!
