Doom and Gloom Television News
Have you ever noticed how often most TV cable news networks are portraying the world as being in a “Doom and Gloom” situation? For example, some channels are blaming President Obama for everything wrong going on with this country, others are blaming the republicans in congress for why everything is going wrong.
They’re both wrong.
There’s a lot wrong with the country, I will admit that. Rampant lobbying (aka bribes), businesses screwing people over, SOPA/Protect-IP, etc. Yes, nothing gets done in congress, however that’s the way our country is set up. Two political parties who are in polar opposite views (unless money is thrown at them) and will not discuss anything with each other, that’s the main problem.
Speaking about SOPA, I saw NBC talking about it during the website blackouts a while ago. They made sure to go out of their way to label Google and Wikipedia as organizations that “permit thievery.” Makes me kinda wonder if the people running these news outlets are the whole reason people act like they are today in the first place.
New Blog
I decided to trash my non-updated website from 2007 and replace it with a blog that perhaps I’ll actually try to use. Eventually I’ll figure out how to integrate my book into the blog too so people can see when I update it, but that’s another story.
Maybe for the hell of it eventually, I’ll throw my old rants from 2002 up to 07 on here for people to read. I think I was in high school at the time I wrote a majority of those, so it probably isn’t too interesting to read.
