I get that a lot of people pay no attention to public affairs until something extraordinary happens. What freaks me out is the comments section of the Globe and Mail. You would think G&M readers would be somewhat better educated and informed than the average person, but that place is full of bitter old cranks who hate pretty much everything about the world that has changed since 1985, and think we can just rewind society back a few decades.
