......that a athlete falsified info about a girlfriend, or wtf ever that story is.......
Don't you think we are being spoon fed bullshit? Has it ever occurred to you that just maybe someone has 'bought' the media and are keeping these superficial bullshit stories at the front of each newscast as to avoid the real issues. The issues that matter?? I believe so, and I doubt everything!
People in my home town love to get all riled up over the event center we have. The one that was voted on, and approved. The one that is already built and not going anywhere, the one that in all reality isn't that big of a deal. But it is an easy distraction. Let's not concentrate on the cold and hungry and unemployed in our town....nah- not easy enough!
People love to throw Walmart under the bus. Call into the wind how they screw their employees and are the death to towns! Let us not forget just how many people that company employs. That company started as a 5&10 basically and built itself up. That company where the employees are not FORCED to work at, but chose to- otherwise they would leave right? I've worked at some crappy jobs and chose to stay, because it was money or benefits, or easier than what else I could be doing, or it fit the hours I needed....get it? Right..... So, I understand being mad because Walmart moved in and another store closed due to loss of business. It sucks, and it does happen, not denying it. But, let's ponder this- that store employed maybe 5 to 8 people at a time, it took up one store front and while it kept maybe 3 families in some money....it wasn't a big employer. Walmart moves into our town and employs hundreds of people! People moved into town to work there. Thousands of people a year come to our town to shop here (spending money elsewhere while here) because we are the town with Walmart. BUT it is so easy to ride your high horse and shout -evil....why? because you were told it was? Nice.
A teacher in town gets accused of sexually assaulting students. A town 3 hrs away, with a bigger media, picks up on the story and performs one of the worst examples of high drama/stirring the bee hive reporting I have seen in awhile. Our local media goes about it the right way- waiting until there were charges placed before reporting the story. People in town get upset because he is being 'covered for' by local media who wasn't doing their duty. Ummmmmm, really? You think it ok for a media source to potentially ruin the life of someone who may or may not be guilty in a small town, forever ruining their life regardless of the outcome of a trial- if there was going to be one. The attorney said off the record he felt pressured into pressing charges now without a full investigation BECAUSE of this out of town media source! Grrrr....... and we just buy right into it. Sickening. The guy has a $5000 bail. I personally would pay the bail and then I would....well, bail! I'd flee like no other! He has no chance at a normal life ever again- if he is found guilty or not.
I just am so sick of people's ability to latch onto the senseless with little information and poor sources for the info they do seek out . Stop being fooled. Stop falling for it. What is really going on out there? What are the real issues? This is coming from a middle of the road (not extreme) conservative btw! *gasp! Imagine that.
