Looking the other way

Are we being drawn away from some very important issues, to concentrate on some petty, immaterial issues with really no substance?

We get sidetracked by Olbermann and Glenn Beck ..... bloggers are getting more attention than terrorism. Radio talk shows, their hosts and their ratings are becoming more important than the wars we are involved in. The "hosts" have taken on an importance, they have credability ...... just because THEY TALK.

Whether you like it or not, a radio personality is the head of one of our two important political parties.

Well, I guess the qualification are the same to be on the radio as they are to become president of the United States.

Blogs give some an opportunity to vent their opinions, with or without facts. TV "news" shows, slant to either the left or the right. No one does, "just the news" anymore, they are propaganda arms for political parties. Where is, and who, speaks the truth, anymore?

I remember, many years ago, in regards to Japan and Germany, the question was raised, "How could that all happen?" Especially the Jewish situation in Germany, "How could THEY let that happen?"

THEY didn't know, because they were afraid, or they looked the other way, the door was not open, to questions. By the time realization took place, it was too late. Hind sight.

In the future, what is our "hind sight" going to reveal?

It scares me!
