Who told you the general public "doesn't really give damn about politics"? And when did discussions regarding a nation and its future become politics? I don't need to be told things that are common sense or common knowledge. The average person is not very interested in politics. People on this thread are the anomoly. Do you need a link to prove that? Spend time in the real world with normal people and you will see that politics seldom comes up as a discussion. The weather, food, personal relationships, work, etc., you know, NORMAL stuff, are what the average person is concerned with - not some dude named Jack Abramoff....

Who told you the general public "doesn't really give damn about politics"? Just for the hell of it, some links for you, councilor! People Magazine, circulation ~3.7 million infoplease.com National Review, circulation ~114k The Nation, circulation ~135k stateofthenewsmedia.org There seems to be an inverse relationship between which party controls the political dialogue in Washington and the circulation of opposition magazines. The last few years have been very good to the liberal Nation. Its 2002 circulation was up to more than 135,000, and increase of 40,000 (42 percent) since the election of George W. Bush in 2000. At the same time, the conservative National Review has seen its circulation fall almost 40 percent (to 114,082) since its high point in 1994, when anger over the presidency of Bill Clinton led to the elections in which the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives. I rest my case.
