I'm watching the american republican convention on fox news and its scaring the shit out of me. Some dude saying weapons and fighting are the answer to the world's problems.. suggesting that it is an awful idea to only go to war when the UN agrees on it... accusing americans who question US foreign policy as having a lack of patriotism.. and then tens of thousands of people punctuating every sentence with mad cheering..
politics seems too much like a sport in america- people pick a team, and cheer without even thinking about it... they even had a panel of 'experts' for gaps between speakers- it reminded me far too much of an NFL half-time show.
