I like this story because it shows the power lies within the individual to know what is right and what is wrong along with forming their own opinions and feelings on the issues in the world; something the mainstream media is now failing at.

The power lies within you.

Mainstream news (and TV in general) is created for low IQ sheep. I wish that I could say there is and age demographic, but sheep come in all ages. My mom is one of them. I wish people were smarter. I'm so frustrated.
