What took place between the meeting of the First Continental Congress in 1774 and the adoption of the Bill of Rights in 1791 is a truly remarkable story. It’s worthy of spending time going back to the 18th century, because it’s a story that still matters today. Are discussion and debate, compromise and accepting outcomes still relevant? Do ideas matter?

PO1 Kevin Dougherty I believe there are a lot of things going on behind closed doors that don’t scream headlines. Unfortunately we have become trained in accepting news in 30 second bytes. And then it becomes who screams the loudest. Generally, I take most headlines as a distraction and look for what they don’t want us to see. Propaganda is alive and well on all channels. Watch the fine print about a week after the headlines.

Worse, I have noticed that for the most part, the kids are conditioned to get their news from 140 characters or less.

Yes debate and discussion do matter however one side has decided that only their opinions count and that's a problem.
