I'm beginning to wonder if people read the newspapers anymore. Over the last month or so, I've been talking to people who should know about this law suit but they don't. If they know about it, they do not know enough about it. While the print media seems to be paying attention, the broadcast media seem to be so consumed with reporting on the election that they have paid hardly no attention to this at all. It really is a shame that they care more about reporting on trivial things involving the candidates who seek to be in charge, than they do what is happening because of the one we already have in charge.
