« A quote from Pearl Buck... | Main | What Will Be the End in Iraq? »
17 April 2007
A modest request...
I would humbly ask that all the attention and "how could this possibly happen?" sort of stories the major US media outlets have expended, are expending, and will expend on both Don Imus and the tragic shootings in Virginia be equalled, at the very least, in attention to the following topics:
- The US involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq
- Third world poverty
- Global climate instability
- Human rights issues in general
The stories should focus not just on defining the problem, but about what is needed to work towards a solution. Terrible as Mr. Imus' comments may have been and shocking though the tragedy in Virginia may be, there really are much greater things that should be demanding the attention and mindspace of America.
Thank you.
