Thoughts on a focused worldview

Interesting, isn't it, that over one hundred thousand people recently (very recently) died in Myanmar, and....

Fifteen thousand (at last count) people died in China this week, and.....

John Edwards just pivotally sided with Barack Obama in one of the more compelling political races in my lifetime, and....

Dozens died recently in midwestern tornadoes, and yet the top story on the news is:

ANGELINA JOLIE AND BRAD PITT ARE HAVING TWINS!!!!!!

But seriously, they are. . . .but seriously, isn't that terrible?....but seriously, I saw it on the cover of Star magazine.

Hey bro!

Have you noticed that usually only your "funny" posts receive comments? It reminds me of a line from Good Night and Good Luck (we're watching it in my 11th grade class). The head of CBS is talking with Ed Murrow about canceling Murrow's news commentary "See It Now" show.

He says, "People want to enjoy themselves. They don't want a civics lesson."

So come on, Jeremy, spare us the grisly statistics.

Love,
Tim
