Doesn't it seem surreal reading the posts ? |
|
I sit here to while away time and read most of the posts here .
By the end of a few hours and each day I end up shaking my head and have to thing this stuff just can't be real , it really can't .
It's not like picking up a newspaper many years ago and reading about regular news . It's worse or at least comparable to the very old look magazines when they were huge magazines and I recall the one with all the photo's of the camps and mass graves with all the written horrid details when the Jews were murdered by the thousands .
This is how I feel now only then I was a kid , of course I was horrified , stall am . But now this mass death and unreasonable cause for it is something I never thought I would see ever again yet alone seeing it all on a computer , this was a device I only saw in science fiction movies or the older tv shows based on futureistic events .
There was an old show called science fiction theator .

2. I was watching MSNBC for a bit today.... |
|
They were talking about the devastation of Iraq and the bombing of the Nomads in Somalia...
Then, the very next story was about Kate Milligan, I guess she is dating one of the Princes over there in England..
And I started thinking, boy MSNBC has no sense of perspective...
By running that crap after a serious story with long range implications, it serves to elevate the ridiculous to the sublime...

If they run the horrid issues then they can wash this all away with the pop issues of who the hell cares .
It's like the commercials , a war is going on and they show a family all in the comfort of a fake home watching tv and having snacks or the latest sale at sears or some such store .
I gave up on tv years ago after their wonderful cover of the attack on Iraq .

I see it as well, the only thing, the silver lining I can think of, is you and me with like minded people everywhere, making this world a place we want for everyone. And that's worth all my time here in this world.
