You don't have to listen to McCain or Obama if you don't want to now

Ever wonder when you're talking to someone about politics, and they don't remember a candidate saying something that was of importance to the campaign? Well here is your answer. In this article I found, I read that there are Audience Perception Dials, as the article calls them. Basically what they do, is while watching the presidential debate or any other campaigns for that matter, you can turn the dial up or down depending upon if you want to hear them talk. So just because you think Obama sucks, you can turn the dial down so you don't hear a word he says, then when McCain talks you can turn in back up to hear his opinion. (I would have mine turned down for both if it was me). This definitely creates a dilmma. You start to judege each candidate by personal opinions, instead of hearing what they say to determine who you would vote for. You do have the right to choose to watch and listen or not, but what if McCain says something you feel strongly for and would determine who you would vote for, but you turn the "dial" down becaus you just don't like him. I would definitely not use this dial, even though I personally could care less for either candidate, if I were to be watching the debate for shits and giggles, I would listen to what each person had to say, because I think that is the "ethical thing to do.
