Maybe you missed the part where I said: "This is not to say we should go back to 1250 or that the medieval man didn't have his own problems" I'm not talking about comparing one and the other on a value basis where we ask which one is better or worse. I'm talking about the fundamental change in how people interact with themselves and the world. Posting a text wall of Freshman level historical analysis of major events from the time period is really irrelevant to that point. Maybe learn a little bit about history first before you make such comment? Exactly what did I say that is historically inaccurate? | ||

I don't know why Republicans invested so much money into her campaign, she was toast a long time ago. It was a surefire bet if you wanted to earn some easy betting money. | ||

I can’t take any article serious that calls NPR part of the elite media and claims they are part of propaganda journalism. The author of this peice has an ax to grind and offers few facts, evidence or substance to the discussion. Kotaku has some talented people on their staff that can put together a well rounded argument, but this author isn’t one of them. | ||

Kotaku can do better than that rant, and NPR can do better than taking a single family's experience and declaring a broad trend. | ||
