Better Late Than…….

Perusing some news on the net recently, I came across an article the gist of which was that the networks concentrate (see bombard) the American public (see sheeple) with the infinite details of sensational grisly murders………because the vast majority of the public is tired of hearing about the war in Iraq…….cannot relate to it, has no one fighting this war and has not lost anyone in this war…….The public can relate easier (and wants to hear about, meet the family, see the pictures) to a murder of a young woman than to the war(occupation), where young men and some women are murdering each other in the name of war, in the name of freedom, of democracy, and coming home in body bags, without legs, without the mental capacity they had when they left……this war being fought with the public’s tax dollars, indeed the dollars of future generations……..So, is this correct?….Would the average Ms. or Mr. Public rather follow true crime or war coverage?……..How much time do the Public’s spend thinking about the war in Iraq?…………Personally, I spend what I consider a lot of time thinking about, reading about, trying to do things that may help bring about the end of this war, and prevent another one (Iran)…….

Yeah. I wrote about 4 months ago. Nothing much has changed. Except attacking Iran seems more likely. And the ice is melting faster than we thought. And food is becoming scarce and expensive for too many poor souls. Things look dire………….For my own mental sanity, and thanks to an accident of birth, or whatever you choose to believe,,,,,,,,I have the luxury of saying……..I’ll pull back, write something lighter and humorous……….this…….
