The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Seems to me the answer is simple, if it bothers anyone enough. Get involved in politics. Doesn't mean you have to run or even actively campaign for anyone (although those are the most effective ways) but at least contribute to candidates you believe in and publically and vocally support them. Make phone calls and write to people that are paid to represent you. Public university administrations and your political representatives need to become besieged with phone calls, letters, e-mails, etc. (but do this intelligently, not with crazy rants). Write letters to the editors, reply in the comment sections of on-line publications, etc. (again, do this with intelligent commentary that shows the hypocrisy and idiocy of this stuff, without sounding like a zealot). And as always, make your point with your pocketbook. Support candidates, causes and businesses that support your ideals and let the ones that don't know you will not be giving them a dime of your money...
I listen to people get their panties in a wad over all of this but do nothing. I disagree with 98% of this stuff but I do admire their willingness to take a stand and speak loudly. It seems the other side of the argument is held by people that don't care enough to get off their arses and do anything. The news isn't going to report about a mad white guy that sat in his house and biatched to his wife and on-line about it...

accountability is a huge issue..
just like right here, I can sit and type all kinds of bullchit about anyone I want and unless you know me personally, no one knows who I am or where I live..
Social media is the problem Bubba. There's all kinds of mis-information or outright lies on the internet these days (look at Ben Carson's chit this past week.)
I've pretty much quit watching the news cause I seriously do not know what is real anymore. I watch sports, the weather channel (cause the dudes on there are hot) and occasionally the semi-fake shows on discovery. Other than that, I don't give a chit mostly, cause everything else seems agenda driven, fake bullchit..

I've never been embarrassed to say where I live until this week. I've never got so many calls from friends across the nation in one week, that I did this week. Columbia gets crazier every week
House went on the market about 4 weeks ago. We thought ground in BOCO was what we wanted. After all this crap, I'm not sure I want to conic he living in a place like it. Next week I'm Texas bound to kill cranes and ducks. While there I'm ground shopping. Why buy 20 acres in BOCOMO and fight what gets worse daily, when I can buy a section of ground for just a little more and be surrounded by like minded people, tons of wildlife and no liberal bastards. The crazies can have the place

I suppose, in the end, I just give the guy a pass on the last week.
I have enjoyed Mizzou football during his tenure......I'm happy to leave it at that.
I hope he beats the hell out of cancer.
