Darth, you just got me thinking of one of the many quotes my old english teacher said...
"Sure, everyone was sad when 9/11 happened. Yet, three months later, we're all still yelling and flipping people off on highways."
I used to care about this, but I just hate the media....really hate it. I mean, 9/11 was sad, but after 5 days I was sick of hearing about it. I know what happened, and I was sad for those people. But the telemarketer calls, the teachers, some of the students, and the news just wouldn't shut up. Move on! Cover something else and try not to relate it to 9/11, sheesh....
The Colombia Crash had me annoyed from the start, especially when my mom tried "making" me care about what happened. Then the fact that one of the astronauts (Laurel Clark) was from my hometown made it worse...UGH! Some astronauts died from a space shuttle that was 20 something years old, and here people are attacking like it was a 9/11.
I have no interest in this "war" with Iraq either. No, I'm not against it, but I just don't watch or hear about it other than in my History class. That's all I really need to. ::listens:: oh look, my mom just turn on the news, and I hear something about Iraq! Time to turn on some music...
