Mommy The Journalist

People who want to talk about the issues our country is facing but who don't follow those issues and therefore know nothing about them annoy me. How can they be expected to have an intelligent opinion, or even a truthful one, when they have no knowledge to base their opinion on? I mean, I know the news is boring most of the time, but tune in people! If you ever want to be taken seriously in serious discussions, you've got to really be in the know. Just because you feel some way about an issue doesn't mean a hill of beans if you have nothing to base your feeling on other than your "feeling."
