There are far too many people who know every contestant on a reality show but cannot name their elected officials, let alone find the country they want to bomb into oblivion on the map. These are people who cannot tell the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim, let alone between a Sunni and a Shiite. These people are a couple of generations almost completely removed from the reality of the world the rest of us live in. Yet, many of them still vote. Driven by fear, ignorance and even racism – they show up at polling places. I remember last year in the weeks leading up to the election, I overheard people comment about how they didn’t know who was on the ballot but they were going to vote for “anyone but that (n-word).”
