It's sad, but true. Our news media would rather talk about the latest exploits of Paris Hilton or Anna Nicole Smith then how people are dying around the world.

And you know why? It's because people watch it. If people didn't watch it, then they wouldn't do it.

Just like the National Enquirer. If ignorant people wouldn't buy that trash they would go out of business.
Wow. I totally agree with you on this. We can get along.
