What do you think?
Hey Folks,
You may disagree, but I found the radio segment below to be worse than brainless - actually, I found it to be severely depressing.
It launches a number of desperately important issues, and then runs from them, buries them - in the name of momentarily experiencing a warm delusion.
See what you think, and then I'll comment further.

The speaker "wants to believe" in her "heart of hearts"; she's "all misty eyed" about politicians "working together" since "the idea of it really is grand." She's "always loved election day." She "loves" this. She "loves" that. She "likes" that, and she "loves" this other thing too.
And as for any serious questions about the electoral process, she "doesn't care" - she's "not going there." She's going to "savor those warm fuzzy feelings as long as she can."
That's depressing.

Hi Tom,
I agree with you totally. This woman is definitely living in lala land. Maybe it works for her. Sorry it doesn't work for me. Thanks for sharing and commenting. Sondra
