I can forgive people for unknowingly making the bad decisions. What really anoyes me is when people make bad decisions based on incorrect information fead to them by the news media.
In general most people get the vast majority of their facts about the world around them from the news media in the form of newspapers, TV, and internet. Unfortunatly, the news is not an unbiased view of the events. For example, last nights WCCO news had a story discussing energy depence of the United States and in the following discussion it was stated that the oil reserves in ANWR was only a couple months of the world supply. It is not the fact that this information is completly incorrect that bothers me or even that they never seem to disclose the source of their information. What does bother me is the fact that they are abusing their position to promote some agenda that ultimately must benefit them in the end. There is no such thing as unbiased NEWS. What I see is that the internet might be the last chance at finding out the whole picture and determining the "true" facts about the world around us. Unfortunately, it is up to the individual to search and obtain enough information to formulate a clear picture of the world around us.

I highly suggest that you do your own search and formulate your own opinion based on sources that you deam credible. Our last fredom, one that cannot be taken away, is the ability to think for ourselves and use our minds.
