Heard an interesting talk this morning with a social psychoanalyst who focuses primarily on the medias effect on human beings. His words that got me thinking this morning: Regardless of what political party you believe in, any rational person should find is alarming that, since 2008, roughly 150 billion has been spent on campaigning. Thats adds, commercials, news spots, tours... what have you. To put that in perspective, we have spent more money in the in the last 6 years on campaigning then we have in the last 100. Whats more alarming is... it worked. Lets take what I feel is the biggest example of the media successfully manipulating our way of thinking. That being, our most recent healthcare reform. Im talking about Obamacare. Now, I have already made my point. There are 9 very educated people in the room with me... and your all nodding your heads with me, no one is correcting me. Why would you correct me? Because its not named Obamacare. Its called the Affordable Care Act.....
