| Welcome to Our Hoosier Board! Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions. Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful. Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Remember though, that JFK incident is largely described as the first time that such physical factors really came into play because of the new television technology and its spreading reach into more homes. Our country has been around a lot longer than that, and the glamour and glitz aspect of campaigning certainly hasn't gone backwards from there brum. |

I am talking about by percentage....I never said LESS people cared. I don't think cable, Internet, and social media have made more people interested in politics. Isn't your statement just conjecture also? |

Maybe not in the last 100 years or so anyway. |

I don't think something happened in 1913 that suddenly dumbed down the political savvy of the country. br |

Politics was a bigger part of people's lives earlier on in history, there wasn't near as much social activities to occupy people's time. Didn't we learn that in history class. Society wasnt instantly dumbed down....it took some time.

The hoards immigrating from the world's hell-holes gave them a good perspective of what this country offers. Also, many people were much more self-sufficient in those days, which helps keep your common sense skills honed. |

I don't. My ancestry is full of American atrocities against them. I do, however, think that Presidents in the 19th century were elected much more on merit than today. |

you guys are so right. people in the 18th and 19th century were way more informed about politics that people nowadays. I'm sure they knew the positions of all of their representatives very well based on your hunches. br |
