46. moral outrage is lacking today's lazy relativism
rethug attack machine backed by their HUGE think tanks have managed to muddy the water so to speak...my generation (x that is) is so dumbed down about politics and lead a life based around seinfeld'esque self-absorbtion and blindlessly follow pop culture trends and cling to them comically as if they were their own, ugh i could go on...

anyhow, i don't think ppl have a sense of moral outrage anymore, becuase they don't have many deeply held beliefs...alot of well meaning ppl that i call friends wax poetic all day about being liberal and espousing liberal points of view, which is def cool dont get me wrong...but at the same time they balk when it comes to actually doing anything for the cause, myself from time to time included.
