Major News Stories

I am a bit pissed at the so-called "news" media. Why? I watch national news, but yet I keep getting these local stories for days on end.

I do not care about a car chase
I do not care about a missing wife
I do not care about a shooting--other than an initial report
I do not care about slutty starlets
I do not care about a plane crash--other than the initial report
I do not care about a bank robber
I do not care about a missing hiker
I do not care about.......pick some fluff piece and you will know.

Will someone please tell me if there is an outlet that actually reports the news?

Another Missing Wife

Yet another missing wife story, but is it a national story? No it is not! At best it should be a local story covered by a local station. The same with fires, car chases, escaped prisoners and so on. These become national issues because the corporate media uses this to keep from reporting real national issues and international stories. This types of fluff are for the mentality of the American people, who have made reality TV a hit.

These types of stories along with the starlets meltdown are for entertainment value, not to inform. I now question my thinking that ALL citizens should be allowed to vote. If this is what they want from the media then maybe they do not deserve the right to vote.

What Color Is Revolution?

There is the Green Revolution; the issues of saving the planet from itself. And then there was the Orange revolution--the democracy protests of the Ukraine. And now with all the problems in Myanmar and the protests, pro democracy protests, led by the Buddhist monks; it is being called the Saffron revolution, named for the color of the robes worn by the monks.

So I ask again what color is revolution? Or yet why a color at all? What part of the violence that accompanies these "revolutions" lends it to a color other than red? You know the same color as the blood that is almost always spilled.

Maybe it is make it seem a bit more appealing, if it has one of these shades of color. You know kinda like the switch from jungle to rain forest, it made the jungle more palatable to people. I mean not many people would help save a place like a jungle with all the animal violence and such, but a serene rain forest they will save. People, they are the same thing!

Adding a color to the violence of a revolution is making it more palatable to the people that are listening or reading or whatever they are doing to get any news. I do not want it sugar coated for me. Call it what it is--people killing people in the name of politics. Stop trying to take realism and turn it into some kid's story book. The only color of a revolution, any revolution, is red--THE COLOR OF BLOOD!

There Is A New Law For Air Passengers

WHY? A couple of days ago the Congress passed a new law that would make it mandatory to give air passengers water and food on long delays. Also they could deplane after an excessive delay. Thinking....thinking.....Do you find that sad? I mean the airlines must be made to do the right thing. You still do not see the problem? Really?

Let me see, the consumer can be treated anyway they see, at least in the past and now the federal government had to get involved to make them do what is right. I still cannot imagine why no one sees this as the bad thing that I do.

So it is perfectly OK that the airlines, while making profits off the consumer has no obligation to treat them humanely? Jesus Christ! Are you people idiots?

Typical American attitude--accept the crap corporations throw at you. Apparently YOU deserve the shitty treatment! The silence of the lambs--how accurate is that?

BE WELL! Peace and I be out!
