And ya, unfortunately society's become a group of Pavlovian dog's salivating over more and more horrifying news. Makes one wonder if we've become TOO desensitized.
I just had to comment on this one, not only for the awsome pic, but for the political aspect. The Government OWNS the news. They make the news say what the gov wants them to say. I knew this General in the National Guard, He always used to give us safety breifings, and next thing I knew, he was doing the weather on a local station. :O IMO only, I think TIME Magazine is a load of BS, NEWS local tv/ Newspaper are also BS. Sure they may throw in a few facts, but the rest are lies, and they really just want to scare ya. Or so it seems. I for one hate seeing suffering. I see people suffer everyday, why do I wanna hear about more suffering? Know what I mean?
Wraith: I agree, somewhat. There is plenty of questionable information floating around in the media, some of it's true, some of it's stretching the truth and some of it's outright lies. That I can agree with.
To live is to suffer and die. Does that sound grim to you? I think it depends on your perspective. Life has it's ups and downs but make no mistake, suffering and death are a part of life. I think it's only natural for people to be fascinated with the mystery of death, just as they are fascinated with the mystery of life, you can't have one without the other. Over 150,000 people die everyday on this planet, I certainly don't mind hearing about it, just because it's not the most positive news doesn't mean it's not news worthy. We report about life, we should report about death, makes sense to me. Reality isn't always pretty but ignoring it won't make it change or go away...well, unless of course you're insane, then all you have to worry about is how to destroy the microscopic, pink monkeys inside your shoe.
