After reading the assignment in Angus I became very tired of the whole polictical debate. I am now to the point of being frustrated, as a few in class already indicated they were during discussion. I mostly agree with what Angus has to say but I believe he is overlooking a few concepts. He cristicizes television and the internet as being tools that are against Democracy and are blamed for Democracy's blurred image of today. Even though I dont use either tool much (Tv or computer) I dont believe everytime one engages in doing so that they are thinking politics. To me, a tv or computer has nothing to do with politics, and I could care less about politics when I want to do homework, check the weather, or watch a show.
In todays world as technology advances people will be using these sources more and more to communicate or get work done. I dont think we should change for democracy, I think Democracy must change for us.
