Tuscon Accident Gabrielle Giffords shot and ...the Beckham's are expecting a fourth child?

When I was younger I had to sit through an hour of news because the adults in my life always wanted to hear what was going on. It was so important sometimes that I even had to leave the room. As I've gotten older I have realized that the news is only good for one thing...whether or not I should put an umbrella in my purse (nowadays   I carry one anyway because even that part of the news is losing its validity). The few times I actually sit through the news I am often slapped in the face time and time again by stupidity at it's finest. alongside the top story of the hour on CNN you can often find signs of the times like this one that offended me yesterday Gabrielle Giffords Shot but expected to make recovery (YAY) while the ticker tape at the bottom of the screen flashes (this must be really important!) THE BECKHAM'S ARE EXPECTING THEIR FOURTH CHILD (WTH!!) While I understand the need to feed the immature with constant updates of celebrity play by plays there is a time and place for everything. How can I take anything you say seriously if after speaking wisdom and truth, garbage flows over the levees in your frontal lobe and exits through your lips? It is certainly not appropriate to have celebrity "news" alongside the things that actually matter...democracy is dying while we sit in the waiting rooms of life with defibrillators but no idea how to use them!!! I just finished reading an old book entitled "110 People who are Screwing up America" by Bernard Goldberg (if you haven't read it read it) and he said everything I've been saying myself for years...the world and Americans in particular are getting so stupid and so thirsty for freedom and liberalism that we are accepting everything including garbage and allowing it to infiltrate our homes, our schools, and our government and turn us into a group of rambunctious fat trigger happy nincompoops. We bred the 22 year old idiot who decided to shoot Gabby Gifford's we allowed him to post his demented videos on youtube and write his stupid comments on myspace all in the name of free speech all the while allowing him to destroy the lives of others also practicing free speech. Not only were adults attacked a nine year old girl was killed! and we are giving this loser the chance to go to trial? he needs to be behind bars for life on an island with huge rats and monster roaches...I can't stand idots...I mean it's not that hard to say how you feel, write a letter, ask some questions, but when you feel you have the right to take someone else's life then that's where something has gone awry. The news is only the beginning of the problem but that's certainly a topic for another discussion but until then  make wise decisions and make a conscious decision to return to civilization :)
