do not keep up with current events of political discourse, not even on a local level, and many are oblivious to what takes place within the Federal Level of Political Processes and its Productions.

At some point and some turn of events within American Society, people will be forced by conditions and disparity of sorts to "pay attention, to political matters" and to face Truths they have tried to Avoid and Truths they tried to Deny. ".
