Captain Richard Phillips is actually from Vermont. I’m glad he’s rescued and doing okay and I am so happy for his wife that they will be reunited soon. It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch her on the local news.

Misbuttoned Coat Makes Perfectly Sane Woman Look Like Raving Lunatic
May 4, 2009

SEATTLE—After improperly buttoning her Gap wool-blend peacoat Monday morning, leaving 6 inches of excess material flapping down by her left leg, Hillary Wagner, 26, was transformed from a typical sane-looking woman into a shrieking asymmetrical loon. Wagner, a claims adjuster, reportedly did not notice her mistake before greeting coworkers, offering what was intended as a friendly "hi" but was, due to the visible bulge around her midsection, viewed as an attack. "My first thought after seeing her was, ‘Who is this psychotic street person roaming around the office? Has society collapsed?’" boss Bob Waksberg said of his encounter with the half-crazed derelict. Fellow employees reported seeing a waxy red substance on Wagner’s teeth, possible evidence that the maniac had just used her canines to rip out the jugular vein of another human being.

Ok, so this was rather upsetting to me,
In Georgia, Segregation Endures Prom Night:

And you should be upset. The students, the parents, the community should be upset! It seems so outrageous that this can be still happening today. But then again, it was only 40+ years ago that segregation was the norm. When obeying the law meant separating yourself from others simply because they had a different skin color then you. Interracial couples couldn’t even get married because it was illegal! And how still to this very day people can’t simply act decent towards one another or respect eachother’s differences.

There`s a graveyard in Texas that won`t bury african americans.They even segregate dead people!Girl is right about people not respecting people`s differences.

And it’s the differences that makes us beautiful.

One of my friends on another site went to Iraq.She was also in the Vietnam war.Amazing woman,I never met anyone in my life like her.I can`t imagine the things she`s seen in her life.And talking about music with her is amazing because she`s met musicians and seen concerts that most of us could dream of.

If I respond to this the way I want to it will turn into another 12,000 pages stating my opposition of the war in Iraq and many other atrocities the United States gets itself into and then turns a blind eye to.

I agree.
I`m tired of war,politics,the recession,the swine flu… Like The Bats say:’What will it take to free us from this age?

I’m tired of people forgetting about the important things…How the biggest news story that appear on the front pages is about President Obama wearing mom jeans and oh yes on a side note healthcare still needs to be reformed or the growing amount of people tuning in to think what Glenn Beck has to say is gospel. Just shoot me now.

This seem to happen, though the degree may vary, in allmost every industrialized country.
The media is covering the circus while the most important aspects gets quick and shallow treatment.

Yeah I know.It`s like ‘read about celebreties and forget that the world is going down the toilet’.Why solve problems when you don`t have to think about them?The media has become the grasshopper when we need the ant.
