PEACE, PTSD, AND PARIS HILTON

WOW I WAS JUST READING ON YAHOO NEWS THAT THE FEATURED STORY WAS ABOUT HOW MUCH PARIS HILTON GETS PAID TO PARTY , AND BENEATH IT IN SMALL LETTERS LUMPED IN WITH THE OTHER STORIES WAS THE FACT THAT 1, 800 IRAQI CIVILIANS AND 81 SERVICEMEMBERS DIED IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST , NOW IM NOT SAYING THAT THE WAR HAS TO TAKE UP ALL THE NEWS SPACE IM JUST SAYING THAT IT SHOULD DOMINATE IT! SINCE WHEN DID A RICH, SPOILED PARTY GIRL BECOME SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION THAT IS DEFINING THE EARLY PART OF THIS CENTURY . YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THE NEWS ITSELF , OR YOU CAN ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT ITS UP THERE BECAUSE THATS WHAT WE CARE ABOUT MOST AS A PEOPLE , THE NEWS IS SIMPLY GIVING THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT CAUSE THEY CANT BE BOTHERED WITH DEPRESSING CRAP , OR MAYBE WE JUST DONT CARE, WHO KNOWS ? I PERSONALLY THINK MISS HILTON SHOULD GET OFF HER ASS AND GO VISIT THE REFUGEE CAMPS IN IRAQ AND DARFUR AND THAT WE AS A PEOPLE PAY A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION TO THOSE IN NEED AND REMEMBER THOSE WHO ARE FIGHTING , AND DYING AND COMING HOME WOUNDED AND MENTALLY SCARRED, BECAUSE IF WE FORGET THEM WE MIGHT AS WELL GO TO THE AIRPORT AND PELT THEM WITH ROTTEN FRUIT ITS REALLY THE SAME THING. UNTILL NEXT TIME TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND TAKE CARE OF SOMEONE ELSE. TODD
