Last blog post

If this were my last blog post, what would I say?

Never take anything at face-value. There's always a catch, especially in politics. "The catch" can often be found in how things are phrased and what words politicians choose to use over other words. It's these types of things that I've been trying to point out. Unfortunately, these techniques are not always enough to find all the catches. An example of this was when Jon Kyl straight up lied to the public by stating a false statistic, which his people later claimed was not meant to be factual. No literary technique would have allowed you to see the catch in a statistic; he just straight up lied. In the end, you must check, double check, triple check, and find confirmation that anything said in politics is valid. Above all, you must think for yourself. Ask questions. Are these policies ones that will work in the long run? Of course, if you don't have the answers, don't delude yourself into thinking that you do. Check with other sources, perhaps authorities in the area.

We're in tough times. An uninformed public making uninformed decisions is not what we need. Even more so, an uninformed government making uninformed decisions is and will be disastrous.
