    That is because of the Media the news and other media sources pour so much information down out gullets that you can't concentrate on one issue long because suddenly that one is dead and something more "exciting" comes along and all the hype that comes with it.

    There seem to be many issues that are focused on for more then a week. I think because the level of horribly bad news stories has increased though, the things that people focus on for long peroids of time have to be extremely taboo or very controversial. Things like trials, wars, kidnappings, and social issues such as abortion, religion, and homosexuality.

    No, it's worse than that. The public at large more like resemble animals. Just where does that leave the government you may well wonder. What can be done to help? Sounds affected and insincere. Like doing what you're told.
