How can anyone NOT be interested in this stuff? Do you still have

friends that could give a shit about politics?

They are missing out on something historical,riveting and important

on this kind of stuff.

2. It's REALLY confusing and mind-boggling the way that people don't care

I find it all fascinating.

3. I can't find anyone to talk to about this!!

It drives me crazy, no one I know is at all versed on this scandal. If it wasn't for the Internet I would be going crazy. I tried to start a conversation about this mess with old co-workers, family, neighbours, friends,......blank looks all. How do we get poeple to care???

4. I'll excuse those folks in LA. Your state has been through so much

and for the vast majority of Americans the "story"has only recently been on the radar screen

5. Some of the same people who say how wonderful it is that we

are bringing democracy to Iraq, don't give a crap about democracy here in their own country!

6. I sat a good portion

of my inlaws down last night and explained the case using all the information i've learned since joining DU. They had no idea and were amazed I knew so much. They were facinated for about 15 minutes. Alas today is a new day and they couldn't care less

7. Care about politics in general? or Indictments in specific?

I find that I don't worry about indictments to the same extent as most people here. Part of that is that my life is relitively busy; but a larger part is that the key person making the call (Fitzgerald) isn't going to be swayed by us anymore than he is swayed by Republican Punks.
