So, after a week or so of media focusing on the deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, Ed Mcmahon, and some others, maybee we can get a front page story in some newspapers and websites about something a little more important right now, such as, say, North Korea? I can't help but wonder what message the media is sending when the threat of nuclear missiles aimed towards Hawaii is not front page news. For those of us who lived through the cold-war, it was rightfully front page news every day. My how times have changed. The threat to deploy a series of short and long range missiles is a serious matter. But to read up on it on the 3rd or 4th page of a newspaper is just as serious. These times are dangerous times internationally, and as much as we might not think so, every action will affect our lives directly.
I don't want to believe that people are getting tired of hearing about something as historical as our governments plans on how to deal with this threat, and that they would much rather hear about what drugs were found in Mr. Jacksons autopsy report. Again, maybee its me being too serious about everything and I need to lighten up a little. Maybee thats what the media is trying to tell me by throwing insignificant news on the front page and headlines on the internet sites. North Korea sent warnings out that they will be testing missiles untill July 10th, so as I see it, the white house should be very, very busy right now preparing for anything.
Obama has been very quiet about all this, which makes me wonder how significant all this really is? Any thoughts?

if you lived in the 80s...you knew two things
ReplyDelete1 - Russians were evil
2 - Patrick Swayze and the cast of Red Dawn can stop them
It is pretty crazy to think that the threat of Nuclear War, which ran rampant in the 50s, 60s and 80s, is such a non-factor now. Presidents ran on that platform. schools were built with fall-out shelters. maybe its because more radiation will likely come from Michael Jackson's face than a WMD.
lol, that's not nice, you're still throwing hits at Michael after his "radiated face" has been buried for a yr now.
