I had a wonderful teacher who taught us you can't just believe everything you hear. You can't hear a news reporter say that so and so is gay, or that there are aliens on the moon. You can't just believe everything you hear especially when it comes to politics.
The news stations pretend that they are not bias on a subject, but if they are supporting someone such as a future president they are going to give you the best of the best news on him, and the worst of the worst news for the other guy. You have to go out there and dig up the information for yourself. After you have read all the information, to both sides of the story you can make a decision about the topic.
I think more teachers need to teach their students how to think for themselves. Think of what our world would be like if people didn't do exactly what the tv told them to do.

There's two types of people in Politics today.
Retro-spective
Pro-spective.
People can be either of the two, one being the type that does what you said to do: dig up the truth, while the other just listens and believes. The majority though is the second. Very few people want to dig up the truth. Most of the time, I make assumptions based on my logic, and sometimes I believe what they tell me, but I rarely dig up the truth. Who knows. The stuff I find maybe wrong also.
I just have the philosophy about issues that I use in debate:
To know the truth of an issue, and to determine whether its right or not, see the story from both sides, all possible angles.
We should be taught both sides of the conflict, so that we can learn for ourselves at that point. Teachers encourage us to learn on our own, but seriously, who does that? When we are told to do that, we don't, and then fail a test, while one kid, the one who actually read, aces it. And what happens to the teacher? EVERYONE hates them because they didnt teach the material. Trust me, they want us to learn on our own, but we just don't listen, and do it. Think about it.
It's not. Ohio has been only in our imaginations all this time. Pity.
well that saves me all the money i would have spent on gas driving there to see if it really existed.
