you're singing to the choir, but how do you change things. every time i've criticized obama on y/a i've been called a racist. it's really not worth the hassle anymore.

It has to do with human nature. Most people feel no emotional connection to others they have never met and don't know they even exist. That's why stories about military personnel don't get as much coverage as the death of a celebrity. People feel they know the celebrity even if they have never met him or her in person. That's why they care more about that celebrity than someone who was sent off to a distant country and killed. That person was unknown to others aside from family, friends, and acquaintances.

b/c what goes on in hollywood is a distraction from the war, it keeps people dumbfounded, deceived and always noisy to know whats gonna happen next, so they don’t ask questions or sit at their dinner tables discussing the war but rather whose the new hollywood bozo.

the media has continuously been deceiving the american people, which are all being run by multi-billion dollar corporations, people don’t like talking about war, specially when, the media never covers it, but they do love to talk about actors and their addictions. which is sad, b/c everyone rich/poor, Famous or infamous have problems, and its nobodies business to gossip about
