I just want to say that while I am deeply disturbed upon hearing the news of the Virginia Tech tragedy, does anybody else feel that non-stop media coverage of this terrible massacre is pretty revealing of how when 30 of our students die we stop everything on television to broadcast it, but when hundreds of people die every day for an unjustified, criminal INVASION (that's right, this is not, and will never be, considered a war in my opinion), we care almost nothing about it?
Does it not strike you as odd that in the past month there's probably been four or fives times more media coverage (I'm just guessing here) relating to Anna Nicole Smith's fucking baby and Don Imus' remarks on the radio than about the slaughtering that's occuring EVERY FUCKING DAY in Iraq?
I'd also like to take this opportunity to say that if you think back to the late 60's when our parents realized that Vietnam was a disaster, they started protesting. Why? Maybe because there was a draft back then. Right now, the government uses the strategy of targeting uneducated, poor students in places where they don't know what else to do but join the army and these are the people that are fighting in this invasion, FOR US TO CONCERN OURSELVES MORE WITH ANNA NICOLE SMITH AND DON IMUS.
Do you feel ashamed of being an American sometimes too? I do.
