Apathy is the abscence of emotion or enthusiasm to matters of general importance. You might wonder why you should care about congress and the bills they are voting on.

A correct worldview will tell you people do not tend towards acting good but rather are bent towards evil and that our human nature is naturally greedy and corrupt, especially when given power. It will take vigilance from all us in guarding the governance of our country.

Nope, they had no clue who Pelosi and Reid were. But they knew quite a lot about Dancing with the Stars contestants.
