Um, on the othe...Yes, so true in many ways Matthew. Um, on the other hand I am not so sure it is the public demanding the coverage of Britney's butt or Nicole's tragic death. I understand the interest in these larger than life icons...I do...but the amount of coverage and ratio is left with the owners of media.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately you are right about the idea of dumbing down...and using these goddesses as diversions to covering the war. <BR/><BR/>I think it is disrespectful to the soldiers and their sacrifice so we can shop and drive cars.<BR/><BR/>I love cars and pets...don't get me wrong. But look at the ages of these departed, most of them are young and can't even afford to buy a car, and now are lost.<BR/><BR/>I know they all volunteered and pets are innocent. I am suggesting a more balanced demand for news from the public.<BR/><BR/>After all these 20 year olds are getting us gas for our cars.

The majority of people at home feel they are at more personal risk from the former than the latter... It's not <I>right</I>, but it's true.<BR/><BR/>On this note, I'm shocked no one's commented on how if rat poison can get into pet food so easily which was bought, for the most part, at one's local grocery store... how easy would it be to slip some into the base of "human food" and cause the same issues with people?<BR/><BR/>Let's face it... the bulk of "society" is so wound up in things like Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Anna Nicole's baby that they neglect the things that are, in the grander picture, far more important.<BR/><BR/>Welcome to the "dumbing down" of society. Feed them pap and they'll be too bloated to notice the other things going on...<BR/><BR/>...which in this case is very sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
