Otherwise NASCAR is sort of strewn across the South, Midwest and Southwest for popularity here.

Goof generally insinuates a mistake was made with the connotation that it was done unintentionally or without thought. So goofs are around, they happen and usually when you least expect them too.

Fear...
Otherwise, Fear, as in the hardcore band called Fear, I think are in LA where they originally formed.
Fear the 1996 movie with Mark Wahlberg & Reise Witherspoon can probably be found on amazon, youtube or netflix.
All the F.E.A.R. (the 1st person shooter game) should be able to be ordered online if you can't find it in a video game store.
Fear the emotion.... That can also be found but you'd know better to find that one for yourself than I would.
If I didn't cover it already, how metaphysical and existential do you really want this answer to be?

Scoobert is Scooby-Doo's real name ("officially") and that hasn't been in syndication in a while. You can probably find it on DVD or possibly find full episodes to watch on youtube.

We're going into another dark ages more than anything else. The main thing about the dark ages that made it "the dark ages" wasn't the level of technology they had but it's the level of general ignorance that carried it.
I believe we're generally put to exhibit more primal level than anything else. We have a society that endorses that as normal. I also believe we're taught by example to be more prone to dehumanize others than we are able to functionally work with humility in mind. Now I get that this'll vary by culture in the details but we literally have people accepting something that's evil and calling it good because other people do it or it's of personal benefit to them. It also happens on every level somehow and to every walk of life.

When it comes down to actual growth of being we have a society that's more about growing sideways than growing upward for an individual. Our factors for being an adult are based on 3 things: 1)You have money and can show it 2)you have sex (And in some cases can have kids) and 3) You're of legal age. Our mainstream media output is also geared to a 12-16yr old mentality range. The basic dehumanization factors we have as a society and carry down even into interpersonal communication can be summed up as follows: Wealth = worth, might = right, confusion of respect (understanding and acting within accordance of that understanding) with fear (control and conditioned responses), calling humility communism (they're utterly different), replacing honorable with classy and your appearance = what you are.

Then you have some of our "upwardly positive words" all involve money.
Security = has money saved or in holdings (not strong in the self enough to be able to at least rationalize fear if you can't find a way around the cause)

Ambition = You willingness to make money (not your actual drive from within to excel as a being)

Stability = You have money coming in and you have money saved up (not that you're a functional individual person who has their own mind and thoughts)

Progress = It makes money (not actual movement upwards as a being or in general for everyone)

Innovation = A new money maker (Not that it'll better the general whole of society)

Moving into the Future = Making sure the money generated from it will be sustained increased (Not that it'll be more easy or better the world and certainly not that it means you'll be leaving the old way behind.)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Now all of this is great for making stereotypes, followers, consumer, sociopaths and manipulators. It's a great way to have people that will be materialistic (and value it above other people), people that will react before thinking and people who run on their wants selfishly as well as people who will confuse desire with necessity. What this doesn't do is create individuals, functional people or make anything work in a way that'll benefit everyone's actual needs. None of it emphasizes an individual, their pursuits, being able to be open, or ensures an advancement on a general level for anyone. None of it even puts "Adult" to show that they're "advanced past the state of a child or adolescent by way of their mind or heart".

When it comes down to Hobbs (people need to be ruled because they're paranoid stupid oafs) and Locke (the will of the people and their consent determines rulership and the laws of the land) factoring into things... We're a society that's "very Hobbs" with a "fake Locke mask on". In essence we're breeding (or to be more accurate, we're socially reinforcing it on each other via media and personal interactions)our "paranoid stupid oafs" to make the "they need to be ruled" part a self fulfilling prophecy. The amazing part (other than people forget these two writers even though they basically helped to move western society out of a "monarchial state of order") is that we literally have enough people in society that would agree with Hobbs without recalling it.

I don't think good or evil for most people can be fairly accumulated before they've died/ended the current flow of the lifetime. People in general are very good at making sure the world is a shade of dark gray all the time though and it's largely due to not caring to see past themselves. (This is largely caused by the fact that we are more based in a physical reality alone with faulty guidelines for growth. The problem with doing that is that a physical reality breaks down.)

Otherwise this world is placed more in a "mid zone" within the multiverse more than anything else. ("Just left of center" kinda.)It's why both "good and evil"/"right and left hand path" can affectively work here. IF we're ever to move out of that set up by way of higher and lower vibrational energies, that's going to come from what we "radiate collectively". So far as humanity sits in general, we're more stuck in a general karmic loop than we're making headway on ascending to anything new. There is also an individual factor to it too so we all don't go to hell (so to speak) for the actions of the many if we don't partake or enable them.

Dem Drones and GOP Slaves don't seem to notice that they mirror each other (so in all honesty they're equally stupid). When a politician speaks they both replace the actuality of the situation with rhetoric to think with. Their arguments amount to being "no I'm better than you are" when all they're doing is just voting to keep the system as it is. They both follow social drama without being able to follow the actions the elected officials take in regard to their voting. They both ignore their own parties (who are both purchased and lobbyist friendly and are both required to keep the system running at the expense of the people) and blame it on "the other guy". They've both voted away our rights by voting for the parties who will do it in bipartisanship and we've only seem to enabled the dems and gop to pass pro corporate legislation (which voters don't seem to understand the effects of) in the system.

When it comes to healthcare, they're both lobbyist friendly and also only give pro provider systems. We can easily also put up real universal healthcare if we didn't have both parties protecting a military budget (which gets the bulk of our money but isn't really going towards the human side of the military at all.)

In as much as the problems we have are enabled, protected and expanded by the elected officials, why they are still there in office is the fault of the voters. If the voting majority can't see that (especially after there being a consistent downward chain for the people in the US since Reagan took office.) then it doesn't really add up to the majority of the US being intelligent. It also doesn't add up to the majority of voters being able to see patterns, remember things, or follow things outside of what's presented. (Quite honestly Obama tried to pull a W. style "They've got WMD's" on Syria, it failed and they had a government shut down to cover for it. What's the most sickening part of it all? Aside form the fact that you had both sides of the isle calling for WW3 over oil and natural gas, you also had a government shut down seem to wipe people's minds clear of it 2 weeks later. The convenient part is that was also when the lab reports were supposed to come back, right around that shut down, showing that it was Pro US interest Saudi Saran gas the Rebels had been given to work with. So we even set them up for it too.)

Remember, the American Dark ages started on Jan 21, 1981 and is still going on. The only parties your elected officials are of is "Nixon and Reagan" (So they're pro corporate, purchased/pro lobbyists and also very much "for the money over the people" at any cost.)
Also to keep in mind, the dark ages wasn't called "the dark ages" because they lacked modern appliances and technology. It was called that due to the massive level of ignorance the people worked and lived under.

Forget the top 10 most corrupt, you have 2 corrupt parties that act as one (Dems & GOP) who are bringing down the system by carrying on reaganomics, pro corporate legislation, pro rights losses, keeping the FED (A centralized, for profit, private bank), "too big to fail"/"too big for jail" policy, protecting/enabling/expanding monsanto, privatization to the wealthy for profits, leaving jobs & wages in the hands of the wealthy/1%/job outsourcers, pro warfare/meddling for resources to create a privatized wartime economy, "pro provider" healthcare systems, suppressing cures wile upping treatment methods, protecting their offshore tax havens and they are creating a virtual aristocracy system of entitlement based on wealth. It's why we have a 50% on or below poverty level and a cumulative 20something % unemployment rate.
It's also the job of the government to regulate or choose those who do for everything we have in this society. The furthest it's gotten to any of that is "Voter friendly rhetoric geared to a liberal or conservative audience" with no actual changes (especially based on the rhetoric said) that are for the people. Most of the changes we have had have been at the expense of the people and that's been the consistency of the actions done by those in power.

When the bulk of your elected officials come from 1 of the 5 backgrounds overwhelmingly: 1) Pro Corporate Lawyer, 2) Business Person, 3) Former Lobbyist, 4) Actor/notable public figure and 5) Career Party Politician it's basically a business set up with a legal team, deciders (the money is taken as profit while cutting the people as needless expenditures) and a Marketing/PR/Sales team for getting it to be bought by the public.

Cutting it down to a top 10 is a deflection given that it's taken bipartisanship to keep this up and going. It takes the eyes off the current problems we have (which are the elected Dem & GOP officials and parties they have which are already both corproately approved, purchased and enabled).

We have no god fearing corporations in action. We also don't put parties into power that give anything else other than "pro provider" systems, not "pro people" systems for healthcare.

Getting something functional for the people will not come from parties that keep reaganomics, vote pro corporate, vote for rights losses, keep lobbyists, keep the FED, keep up an agenda of warfare/meddling for exploitable resources.

You're forgetting another thing here which you probably may also not be up on.

Eastern Orthodox Christians (The world's 2nd largest church which most of the population of Eastern Europe - Russia are a part of) and Muslims don't get along too well due to former Muslim Empires coming in, conquering and cutting down Orthodox Christians for conversion. True, each empire had it's own deal with conversion specifically but you got old bad blood all thru Eastern Europe and the Middle East (Orthodox Christianity is the predominant form of Christianity in the Middle East too) due to it.

So you have that floating through things as well.

I read them. Why? I like to have some idea of who I'm dealing with beyond a face and I'm past HS so I'm not really running on looks alone. When there's not a lot to read on a profile past about a couple of sentences to maybe a 3rd grade style paragraph then there's really nothing to work with in order to write to anyone. Basically, when it's like that, it's either write something short seeing if they want to talk or just "state interest".

See my deal is more along the lines of... Why can't 90% of people (in my case women) really actually think about writing something down for a mentality display of some sort more than half assedly putting in some generic bs to make themselves look "individually interesting"? I'm glad everyone's music preferences aren't "eclectic" anymore but honestly if people can't put themselves together enough to explain themselves to an onlooker in a dating site then what should they expect back?

Sounds like you met someone who was angry at rejection.
In all honesty nothing you said was off balanced or messed up there. The "assuming racism" move is also one of those things that's used as a psych ploy. In essence it's supposed to make you rethink things to prove you're "not a racist" to the accuser. The part people don't take into account is that people are attracted to who they are attracted to. So this isn't racism, this is attraction preference. We all have it and that doesn't make anything racially motivated.

As for the question...
It's really your call.
Personally I think it'd be legit to give the "not interested" send out (I mean you're taking into account there's another person there more than ignoring them would) but you also have to keep in mind that online dating stuff is somewhat faceless. It's somewhat easy to just drop talking to someone when you have no actual presence of person there in front of you. You can ignore them and it'll go over sort of "blah" with most people. You still can get one of those "I'll keep trying to get your attention people" (normally they're verging on "stalkerish" when they do that) by ignoring them but that's what the "Block" function is for.

Okay, we have nobody in power looking to create a living wage (Dems, GOP and Libertarians won't do it because that'd "ruin capitalism") and we have corporate america looking to ensure the same. "The left" (which are the dems) are also just a guilty for enabling protecting and expandng corporate america as the right are (nobody ended reaganomics, instead they all kept it going and added to it.). The only party pushing for that are the Greens and they're not right or left, they actually are looking to change up the entire system to be working for the people as the main focus. (Not the acquisition of wealth by any means.)

Secondly, we also need to evaluate what should constitute as work. Our basic deal of what we have is basically "It's work if you get paid for it" and with undertones of "specific jobs = specific levels of entitlement". (Note: Entitlement is only for those with the money.) So things like "art", "writing" and stuff like that aren't considered to be work as much due to pay levels. The problem is that work itself has a matter of being something that you put effort into that you also get outcomes from. If we only literally go on the scientific definition of work, we are missing the point entirely. (Scientific Definition basically = If you pick something up and you move it into a different place, it's work.) Some jobs don't require that at all.

Living wage is entirely possible and would actually benefit the people. Specifically:so we're not going to be trained to jump for money. (What we have in regard to money is conditioned response.) What we need to to is establish it down the chain so that way there can be more of a flow of cash so it can go into the mom and pop businesses. Getting major corporations to pay a living wage (When they can afford it) is important. It cuts down their lobbyist money, cuts their tax havens savings (Which puts more money back into the economy) and depowers who they are. This also ensures that people will be able to make enough money to keep things they have. It would/could also potentially push a flat rate for products and services instead of creating a system where we're charged based on income of the state or area you live in.

A functional government keeps in mind of the people living under it (so it'll adapt to the needs of the people) and also is looking to put them up as a priority. Currently we have a system that protects those with money, 50% on or below poverty level, no career field expansion (outsourcing yields way more profit) and a cumulative unemployment rate of around 20%. Aside form lack of regulating things the system doesn't care about those who vote to keep them in power and that shows in their actions. People aren't undisciplined to work, people are getting shafted on jobs that'll pay enough to live on top ensure the owner (or CEO) gets the bulk of the profit. They also can't start their own businesses because they either don't have the funding or the potential to be purchased by a larger company results in their own loss while establishing more control in the field that company is in. Mind you, this is also in a system that'll charge the highest on things you need (food, medicines, housing) because that's considered to be guaranteed profit.

The money craze is based on one of our main dehumanization factors... Wealth = worth. People have been indoctrinated into capitalism's mindset so much that we will call humility communism, we admire might over right, and it's making honorable become replaced by classy. Our measure of Progress is how much more money that'll be made. Our scale of ambition is revolving around "how much money you're looking to make and what you're willing to do for it". It's even come to the point with us that it'll affect love and relationships. If you don't make money, you're just the odd man out. Who you are, what you're about takes a back seat quite often to the promises a large wallet and a potential lifestyle upgrade comes with. It's practically HS with money and you're looked on as defective for not being able to follow it. Never mind that our ideals don't match our actuality, (above paragraph to recite reasonings) the american dream is materialism and we shoot for it to show we did something right in our life. Quite honestly it's like an even more backwards deal than the protestant work ethic. What people don't get is that God and the heavens don't work on money. They have a better system so they're not going to care as much about the system we put in place that's managed to socially dehumanize us. They only care about what we do to each other over it.

It sounds like they're repackaging racism (something that already exists) for a smoke screen (a "Let's focus in on this problem so we can drown out real problems with it" report). It seems to be pointing out something with a "race related spin" and isn't at all citing influences or anything in society telling certain mentalities that this is "okay to do". (Sort of the same way we have it with guns... Nobody's identifying a causality source in our social mentalities for the violence or things contributing to that source. In fact that's getting ignored.)
This article is also putting things into a perspective where you have racism being skewed. It seems to put an identity to race more than it puts an identity to an individual which is usually the 1st sign of racism. So there's some deal where if you don't acknowledge race enough you're a racist just as much as if you acknowledge it too much before the individual?
"Progressive thought"? Honestly, the way we measure progress in this nation is "something that's done that'll make money" NOT "this is for growth of one or a society as beings". Politically speaking "progressive" = "Always say voter friendly rhetoric you or your party will never act on + keep up your social appearances + cater to lobbyists, keep reaganomics and vote pro corporate, pro rights losses and pro warfare/meddling for resources" (which is the same as GOP thought really). This thought is not only not progress (Upward growth of a beings up to upward growth of a society in general), it's seemingly creating a loop hole to have people angrier for not properly identifying race (which in itself leads to more racism). It also seems like we're looking to expand the term for racist till we're divided to a preferential societal social apartheid of some kind.
This makes no sense considering that the basic deal for humility is to see people as people (with the same basic needs and to a certain extent the same wants)before anything else. Given the way it's written, it's going to put people who catch onto key words and ideas (Like "progressive" and "racist against whites") in a reactive state. Let's also not forget the spotlight of having to feel like they need to choose a side on this issue. So the writing is polarizing to voter mentalities as well as putting things into a perspective to cater to preexisting fears and potential stereotypes based off of how much someone may fall into specific personal affiliations amongst groups they associate with.

Our basic problem is inhumanity and dehumanization. We're selective on our humanity in general which means we selectively dehumanize too. It's a societal problem as a whole here. We up dehumanization on even social levels and largely it's based on money now more than it is on anything else (Wealth = worth). We also don't have a society that's looking for equality outside of a H.S. level on majority level either.
It's also not "whitey" anymore either. Quite honestly any race, creed, gender or color seems to be able to fall into the deal of "Power and wealth" and will carry it on as "the only way" if it works for them. What people are directing anger at is actually those in power and are misappropriating it at the wrong people entirely. Anyone who's willing to keep things as they are (basically enabling a wealth based aristocracy system of entitlement)
This article is also deflecting for people who are suffering from how our system work/dysfunctions, particularly in it's consistent adapting to the wants of the wealthy instead of becoming realistically conducive to the needs of the people. With a 50% on or below poverty level & a cumulative 20% unemployment rate (that nobody in power is looking to stop, change or reallocate funds for since they all run reaganomically at our expense) our problem isn't race, it's enabling a government to keep on running for profit at our expense. That whole deal is not only affecting everyone (and even other nations unfortunately) but the majority of our nation has been enabling it to work like that so that's also a matter of "everyone's affected here too".
Otherwise the lashing out here is a basic deal of being unable to grow past a certain point emotionally or mentality wise. That's beyond race because you'll get that response form anyone who stops growing as a being (I'd say somewhere between the ages of 10-16yrs given the lash out levels). Those responses are also learned and that too is beyond race because it's a nurture factor (that's not only parents but the society around being a weigh in on the person too.). All of this does affect a whole society as well so that really does bring everyone into the mix.

And I thought this was going to be a black metal posting...
:::Shakes head:::

Okay, I'm going to go with that this is clearly a hoax simply because "Terrified scientists" don't usually say they've let "evil powers out" of anything. However this does go great with a lot of plot concepts for some b-horror and Sci Fi films from the 70's - 80's and sounds like an Enquirer article.

Also, hell isn't underground. (Think everything as "prepositional" for this one.) It's basically it's own dimensional state of being at the lowest and most distant point in the multiverse to God. When the whole deal with hell came about (when the watchers were thrown out of running around the earth plain) and it was created to house the fallen, they were put under the earth. That means they were put there because it was more or less at a lower level than the one we are on (We're somewhere in the middle of things). Since the actuality of the shared reality we live in is 3 generally perceivable dimensions and with more than just a physical existence involved, "under the earth" doesn't literally mean that hell's located somewhere between the core and the mantle. It means it was put on a different vibrational plain that's lower than this one is. It would also indicate that we have dimensional realities that connect into this one but not physically.

Well NYC is a corporate stronghold that's protected evenly by dems and gop alike (whoever in power as mayor there caters to it). DeBlasio went back on ending the stop and frisk policy 2 weeks after elections ended so he's keeping up the conservative angle there too.

Upstate, they're taking in fracking and big bank money (via lobbyists) while enabling NYC to exist as it's own city state just like the GOP would do (and have done when they're in the mayor's office).

Your "liberal dictators" don't exist.... Your pro corporate, pro rights losses, pro reaganomics with a W. Agenda for privatized gains as well as your pro warfare/meddling for exploitable resources Dems & GOP do exist. They both have war criminals, lobby money, corporate connections, offshore tax havens and don't care about your rights equally. That would make them "corporate" more than liberal or conservative. (Those are just voting groups now.)

Ummm we've lost rights already due to the Patriot Act and NDAA which have both been voted in with bipartisanship. Since the Patriot act also carried from one admin to the other that would also show a clear bipartisanship deal to keep what W. did alive. With NDAA Biden helped draft it and McCain sold it. You also still have it getting voted back in every years since 2011. The supreme court (who the legislative branch can remove the justices from but don't bother to) took away our right to remain silent last year too.

That's just as equally a conservative problem as it is a liberal problem. You also really should be taking into account that things like "leaving jobs up to the 1%/Job outsourcers" is still going on from both sides. Both sides have been keeping up reaganomics (which has not only caused a wealth divide putting 50% of the country on or below poverty it also doesn't have money "trickle down". It's advanced to where it largely trickles out to offshore tax havens now). Both sides protect and enable the FED which is a privatized, centralized for profit banking institution. Both sides protect a military budget that isn't used for the troops and isn't being allocated in any way to adapt to the needs of the people which also means that the system isn't adapting to the changes it's causing on anyone (It cares more for funding warfare). Both sides got wall street bailed out and give corporate america tax breaks with money handouts and nobody on either side bats an eye at it. That also shows out even more since they can regulate banks and corporate america but instead they enable, allow and expand how banks and corporate america want to work. We've had Qe3 and Qe4 (which cut our dollar value again and prices were raised but wages weren't raised at all) with nobody fighting it. Both sides have been making sure more and more things we need have been getting either turned into a business or cut for "profit". Obama made some of the romney cuts last year too (with GOP senators in advisory for it). Obama also had smoke screens from Rand Paul with this faceless chatter filibuster over drones (Which said nothing about kill lists, that we have a drone caucus on capitol hill, stated nothing about civilian kills, so it was a PR move because it put no real face on what drones are used for.) and Liz Warren (who not only had an insider position on the bailouts but was fast tracked to a senatorship as a "reformer". She just touted voter friendly rhetoric that she and her party did nothing about following thru on while copying Ted Kauffman to tell off banks.) Keystone XL and the TTP aren't really being fought on any level in the federal government at all. In fact they're looking to pass them both (Sort of like how NDAA passes with large bipartisanship levels each year since it was dropped on us in 2011). We have a president who will sign anything that passes which doesn't help either.
That's clear bipartisanship to make things happen. Those who you are calling "liberals" in office have actually been conservative MVP's in their actions. Your entire 2-Faced Party system caters to lobbyists (bribe bringing corporate ambassadors), wall street (They get the secretary of the Treasury job and avoid jail from the "too big to fail/too big for jail" policy the government as a whole endorses) and corporate america (they get handouts). Entitlements are also things that go to the wealthy which nobody is stopping either. When it comes to liberal and conservative,those are voting groups (Who are viewed as demographics, not as people because we have a pro profit business set up for a government). In actuality your Dems & GOP are pro corporate.

Another thing you should take into account is that you also have an overwhelming level of 5 backgrounds for elected officials:
1)Pro Corporate Lawyer: There to subdue existing law or write new laws for pro corporate gains.

2)Business Person: Decides where the money goes and generally that goes to "profit" not for the needs of the people. (People get cut for profit as "needless expenditures")

3)Career Party Politician: Taking lobbyist money for votes while touting rhetoric to replace logic to the voters.

4)Actor/Public Figure: They're normally getting votes because of their public presence, not any form of competence.

5)Former Lobbyist: They're new and have been coming up a lot on the governor and mayor level (Chris Christie/Augustus Gloop is a former prison system lobbyist). When it comes down to it they're like a cross between the business person and the career politicians as they work.

^That's a business set up with a legal team, a decider team (who decides to go "for profit") and a Marketing/Sales/PR team. That's also a great way to keep reaganomics going but it's totally not a functional government that keeps the needs of the people in mind. Nobody in power is looking to stop it.

Now domestically speaking up to this point, this is all a wide causality of our problems that both sides are enabling just as much as the majority of the US voters are enabling by keeping them both in power.

And since you wanted to bring up guns... It's being turned into a team sports finals event to hand in a right. That in itself is deplorable. What we're not doing is getting sociologists and psychologists to look in on what in our society is telling certain mentalities "Why we have the gun violence levels we do?". We're not handling it reasonably, responsibly or even realistically in regard to the guns issues we do have. (Those are all mentality based considering that guns can't get up and kill people of their own volition.) The main problem we have with guns is that the person holding one doesn't see the other person as a person when they use them. That's usually called "dehumanization".
Also, the guns thing is largely to ensure that we can sell guns on the UN floor, turning the UN into a weapons dealing symposium. If we go along with the general bans on firearms a lot of Europe has, we will be allowed to trade arms in the UN. This is a great deal for our weapons contractors (who get a large part of the military budget with a "Get out of jail free card" for war crimes that the W. admin passed and the Obama admin hasn't fought at all) and the "best apart" is that we still get to militarize our police force with no issues, it would still let our military get their hardware upgrades and would probably have loopholes for political officials and corporate america. .
What you're not bothering to mention about Feinstein is that she's not commenting on any spying being done on people (Dems & GOP don't mention that because they agree on it). That's more of a problem than anything else.

In mention of the news... Our major TV and radio networks are owned by 1 of the following corporations (this also started during the Clinton admin and hasn't been stopped by anyone):
Bain Capital/Thomas H. Lee Partners (Clear Channel)
CBS Corporation
Comcast Corporation
Gannett Co.
News Corp.
Time Warner, Inc.
Tribune Company
Viacom
Walt Disney Company
Washington Post Co.
Broadcasters make billions in profits while using the public airwaves for free. (Largely the profit is from advertisers)
As for cable and telecommunications that's owned by:
AT&T
Cablevision Systems Corporation
CenturyLink
Charter Communications, Inc.
Comcast Corporation
Sprint Nextel Corporation
T-Mobile USA, Inc.
Time Warner Cable, Inc.
Verizon
Still making billions there too (Largely off of advertisers).
Since the networks are owned by their companies and cater to the advertisers for money we have a buy in system for the mainstream news. This enables "buy in truths" too. This even affect local network news. Major networks Fox, CNN, and MSNBC all work on that level. Fox = conservative market, CNN = liberal market and MSNBC = whoever paid in by the hour. In actuality they both run in with selling people rhetoric and biased views on what's going on. This not only backs up your voters being viewed as demographics but it puts things to a level of "voters will follow if it's presented to them in their general mentality levels". You have channels that label themselves as science or information channels catering to conservative or liberal mindsets in their writing to keep viewers. Investigation ID has many of their crime shows rewritten from a show called American Justice which was an old show on A&E. Hell, you even have viacom who owns comedy central, selling Dem propaganda via their prime time shows/DailyShowand Colbert Report. Those show have also been used to smooth over whatever the government has been doing as a whole as well as what the current admin does. They've deflected for the government as a whole during elections/the chaos on "Bullpoop Mt" segment was all highlighting things that happened on obama's watch, they sold drones to the public as "no big deal" and recently even helped to smooth over the whole Ft. Lee NJ bridge mess for Christie to use it as a means to say he's "running for president" just like network news did. This also takes bipartisanship to ignore, allow and enable. (Via lobbyists and funding elected officials during elections largely.)

Eyes and hair have been pretty equal on my compliment levels.

Happens to the best of us at times. Main thing is that you realize it, have hopefully grown passed the scrapes and keep it in mind while making sure not to repeat what got you there.

Greens are the only party looking to reallocate the money to universal healthcare here which is possible if we have a government that doesn't dump most of the funds into a military budget (that clearly doesn't go for the troops!). Libertarians aren't going to do much but keep it pro provider too. They're still money 1st and are pro privatization to the wealthy. (They're also keeping the reaganomic deregulations we have that have enabled profit before the needs of the people.Reaganomics helped to make healthcare a business to begin with.) Functionally that system doesn't really work no matter how much they want to push their rhetoric on pricing. Problem is that the "pricing rhetoric"is like a more eloquent version of "We're a nation of haves and have not yets".

Universal healthcare would do the following:
-Be covered under taxes and would be there for citizens which means you actually get rid of bloated for profit lobbyists (Medinsurance). So it's no extra charges really, just be a citizen and you get what you will need.

-Would require audits on medical supply. We inflate costs due to the bipartisanship of Clinton and the Gingrich Senate to make healthcare solidly a business which isn't beneficial to the people's needs. (They enabled the health industry to call their own prices. They just packaged it as "We're taking healthcare to the 21st century" which just turned out to being "for profit".)

-Would put more emphasis on cures over "treatment methods". It costs more to cater to "treatment methods" which can only be funded based on what we pay due to the fact that it's run like a business. It is also more effective for profit to push treatment methods over cures, hence why we have them so widely available.

-Would put big pharmies under the supervision of the government more than enabling big pharmies to pay off our elected officials regulating them so they can do what they want.

So there is a way around this that's functional and realistic that can help every one that nobody but the Green Party is actually pushing for. Otherwise Dems, GOP and also the Libertarians would keep it as a business (That exploits the people based on the psychology of "I want to live" for it's profits), not as a need or a priority.
