This thinking is the basis for the Independent voter. The myth is that they're some type of deliberate, open-minded voting demographic, in their wisdom they like to keep the door open to all possibility. The reality is that they just don't follow the news and instead base their opinions on sound bites and article ledes. The sad consequence is that, as pockets of our society work to unravel the institutions that make this nation great using just the weakest veneer of misinformation, those of us who take the time to read what's happening begin to realize that human-made ruin is largely avoidable. Only if more of us would pay attention.
