Is it willful?

I'm consistently amazed at how folks view the world around them.  When presented with factual content to the contrary, there almost appears to be a willful ignorance to maintain their own reality.

It's astounding how much bias has entered the foray anymore.

Literally: if we lived in the era where the roundness of the earth was still resolved and agreed upon ... how many folks would willfully stow their bias in the name of needing to be right?

What got me going?

Comments on FB - where folks were applauding Gov. Perry's option to send national guardsmen to the border to "protect" Texas.

Most of the comments blame Obama - okay.

But when Obama challenged the Republicans to pass comprehensive immigration reform, where are those commenters now?  Still pining over what happened in Benghazi?  Seriously folks ... c'mon.

Obama can only do so much when you have an ass dragging Congress who has completely lost touch with reality.  Instead of being sensible, we've become divisive.  Instead of being realistic, we've become obstinate.  Instead of being reasonable, we've become accusatory.

I'm reminded of those completely idiotic beer commercials:

"Taste great!"
"Less Filling!"

"Taste great!"
"Less Filling!"

.... if the national conversation has been reduced to that of a 1970's alcoholic beverage commercial then the human race has all but lost.  Enough with the bullshit.
