There is a great quote in the movie "Gladiator". It is made by the bad Ceasar, Commodius. It goes something like this, "Entertain the masses and the state can do anything." (Although this is not an exact quote, it is close to it).
I have been thinking about this quote a lot lately. And unfortunately I think we may be close to there as a nation. It is this idea that if it "looks" good, then vote for it. This election is incredibly important and can not be based upon entertainment values. Think about who you are voting for. Research the different candidates and make an informed decision. Disclaimer: Watching the network news does not count. Find out more than what the entertainment networks want you to know. Know what the candidates value and stand for. Because, as another quote goes, if they don't stand for something they will fall for anything.
