why didn't i notice?

why is major media
biased, controlled, blind and out of mind with us?
they speak so hard,
what happened to education? what happened?

should I get a tattoo, and pierced,
wear hats backwards,
then yell kick butt,
cause we’re number one?

did i grow up around such fear,
violence hatred, stupidity and complacency?
was it because i was young and busy
that i didn’t notice us crumble?

It all happened while you were at an "away" game.

Nah... I think we have a lot, maybe the same about of solid moral fiber. I see it in young people all the time.
I think it is just that communication today is all in real-time. We hear and see everything the moment it happens and we often feel compelled to react just as fast. That seems to force hasty generalizations that show up in extreme behavior by all interest groups, pro and con. I think.
It is a struggle to remain in balance with all the information we are getting caught up in. Remember Alvin Toffler? The "Information Overload" guy? If he is still around I will bet he is nodding his head and saying, "I told you so!"
