Yeah, that might have really put a damper on the ratings.
The everyday, common man is just a pawn in the geopolitical landscape. Lives mean nothing to any government.
and sadly most of the politicians that we all sit around fighting about and defending on the average day.
sure if they can do something that helps the average man...they will do it, as long as it doesnt cause a problem for them on the back end, or definitely if helping themselves just happens to have a side affect that helps the average man.. and that isnt a party or even a country statement, thats just my view on politicians in general.
