Two things...

First, if you, like me, want to yell at CNN for anything - like not making certain stories bigger news than they are, here's a link.

Second, I'm going to go on about this for at least another week. Maybe two. If this really bothers you, I suggest you take me off your Default View for that long, then pop back and see if I've stopped doing it yet. I promise, I won't defriend anybody in the interim unless I'm asked to.

Well, some people aren't, and that's fine. I think this is fair warning that it's gonna dominate my journal for a while.

It seems to me that "not paying attention" is how we got into this mess. It is my common lament: people would rather watch "Survivor" than exercise some interest in the government or broaden their comprehension of the World. I just can't figure out whether my inclination to believe it's all conspiracy BY the government to distract everyone with stupid pop culture crap is really fair, because perhaps it is just the case that people are, in a great preponderance, just not that smart. But I think I want to believe that even less. Sigh.
