Re: Favorite ignorances
I have to disagree with the local politics issue. Maybe I just care because I work for a State Representative, but local and state officials actually have a larger effect on your life than federal. Maybe you don't care about the school board now, but you sure as hell better care if/when you have kids in school.
The people who make decisions on what type of development is allowed in your area are local officials. The people who decide whether or not that road goes through your house are often local officials. The ones who are actually willing to speak with you personally to solve a problem are local officials.
It pains me to see people who want all these services and complain when their bus doesn't come on time... but then say they don't care about local politics.
