Ever watch the Showtime series Homeland?
There's a delivered by Mandy Patinkin to Claire Danes that fits the bill here:
"You are the smartest and the dumbest ****ing person I know."
You could say the same thing about this country.

Exactly.
The psychology of the modern American is interesting. It's almost like we search out ways to stay angry yet entertained; like we need to have strife in our lives. Whether Zimmerman racially profiled Martin isn't exactly the point here - the point is that two idiots passed each other in the night, and one died a meaningless death. THAT is the story, for me anyway. Why did that happen? How can we prevent it from happening again?
"If it bleeds, it leads". Still true in 21st century media.
