It's the same old story - whoever yells the loudest gets heard, even if it's only one person. As for the huge media/internet (Digg) bias towards Obama - that's politics baby. And politics are dirty. There is a reason politics and religion are topics people tend to stay away from. In my old age, I've learned it is not worth it to fight - it's not worth it (unless you are extremely passionate about a certain issue) to try and be the person yelling loudest. Someone will always yell louder than you. I think we can change the world by quieter means - no one on Digg is doing anything about anything by writing snotty little "pseudo-intelligent" (AH HA! I got to use the word!) comments. Screw 'em. Read your stories, digg what you like, bury what you don't and stay away from the comments. Those bastards don't deserve your time, or your anger. On a side note (because my comment isn't quite long enough yet), a person can argue that Obama won because of the media bias, but I say he won because the MAJORITY of the people wanted him to be the president - therefore, the MAJORITY of the people on a place like Digg are going to digg Barak stories and bury Palin/McCain stories. Isn't this just a reflection of what the election confirmed? (So didn't mean to rhyme there...) That said, I love your quote - so very, very true. Thought provoking, ain't it?
