I know time is of the essence in everyone's lives. Unfortunately, there is really no short cut to taking the time to learn about these things, just as it takes time to become knowledgeable about any number of subjects. The best I can do here is stress the importance of the subject and entice readers of the Politics DB to sacrifice the time required. Ultimately, of course, each person will decide for himself/herself what is worth pursuing...or whether, perhaps, their hard day's work has earned them the right to not have to think when the day is done. This is perhaps true....but unfortunately it will leave us with a lack of insight into the world & into the events that shape our lives.
