Thread: Sick of it all. Off to war.

Given the public perception, I am a lone voice....

its all just so sloppy, and I reserve the right to exercise my grumpy old man about the idiotic public perception fed by stupid media that somehow everyones opinions matter. Accurate, relavent and competant opinions matter... the rest is just useless white noise, that demeans relevant contribution and promotes misunderstanding.

Now while firearms ownership is a legal right, I choose to think of it as both a priviledge and a responsibility. That promotes me to be careful and thankful for our legally recognised freedoms.

But don't let some knobby policeman tell me that my legal rights are a priviledge exercised at their discretion. Wrong, they are agent for society to ensure that I meet the requirements of the law in order for me to be granted my rights under the law.

The finer points of that are of course lost on the masses with opinions.

Now how does it pan out when the white noise makers without accurate, relevant and competent opinions are the elected members making the laws?

Media and pollies try to manage public perceptions, cause with numbers it doesn't actually matter whats right and wrong. When they fail they get get Trump. And he aint wrong about fake news, hes just too stupid to know that he's the worst at it.

What do they say... ? we live in a "post truth society."
