hacking

Enough is enough already. I mean, I'm definitly not a Palin supporter, but where is the line drawn? Was it really necessary to hack into her email? People are really just going nuts in this campaign. Part of it I believe is the way our country is right now, and the other part is what we are seeing, reading and listening to from the media that causes this frenzy.

Just the other day I was talking to a friend who is very into politics, and was always an independent, leftist extreme, you might say and now he is in total support of Palin because he believes that the media has completely smeared her. He thinks that she is the only person who is "normal," or "one of us" and that she can relaly bring the change in the white house that is needed. He also gave me an article to read from boston globe that dismissed all the claims made about Palin :that she wanted to ban books, that she wants to go to war with other countries etc. But whose to say that article dismissing the claims is even accurate? What makes him think that the information he found was correct, and everything we've been hearing is not?

Perhaps we simply choose what we want to believe and what we don't. If we like a person( for instance Palin), we'll find a way to either justify her misgivings or find information that dismisses facts (it's always out there).
