news
Literally, this post is about the news. I'm obsessing a little about the war. Most kids on this earth would ask, "what war?" I fear that many adults would too. Where's the coverage? Why is it that I log onto MSNBC or even CNN to catch the news and the first thing I see is who's the biggest loser or who's taking steroids from which ball team, or which star was photographed without undies?? I don't care about that. Why is it that I don't understand Trannytrent's posts most of the time because I can't even point to the countries he is referring to much less know anything about the politics he's speaking of.

I refuse to believe that Americans are just stupid. I think we are ignorant. We are ethnocentric and can't be bothered with global politics because we are too busy trying to reserve the new IPhone on mac.com. I do think we suffer from a severe, and likely terminal, case of apathy.
