Yet if I was to enroll at a university to study ancient history and spend all my time on it, it would be deemed perfectly normal and praiseworthy. Well I see my interest in current geo-politics as being like studying history as it is happening. Plus if enough people have her view of disinterest in the problems the world faces and thereby vote in someone like Obama, it wouldn't take to long for these faraway problems to become local.

I depend on this for real news. I never watch news on TV - I barely watch Fox, but damn, me thinks me needs to get a life. :( I know, but, wow, I didn’t like realizing how damn addicted I have become….
