Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe on the net where you pick and chose your stories from the headline, but TV-Cable-Print news have not gone away just yet. :headshake

Eye on the TV 'cause tragedy thrills me Whatever flavour It happens to be like; Killed by the husband Drowned by the ocean Shot by his own son She used the poison in his tea And kissed him goodbye That's my kind of story It's no fun 'til someone dies Don't look at me like I am a monster Frown out your one face But with the other Stare like a junkie Into the TV Stare like a zombie While the mother Holds her child Watches him die Hands to the sky crying Why, oh why? 'cause I need to watch things die From a distance Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies You all need it too, don't lie Why can't we just admit it? Why can't we just admit it? We won't give pause until the blood is flowing Neither the brave nor bold The writers of stories sold We won't give pause until the blood is flowing I need to watch things die From a good safe distance Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies You all feel the same so Why can't we just admit it? Blood like rain come down Drawn on grave and ground Part vampire Part warrior Carnivore and voyeur Stare at the transmittal Sing to the death rattle La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men. Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen. Shouldn't have to say it all again. The universe is hostile. so Impersonal. devour to survive. So it is. So it's always been. We all feed on tragedy It's like blood to a vampire Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies Much better you than I |

People don't do that, not human nature to shut off the news if an unpleasant story pops up. You extol possibilities, I describe realities.
Go forth, climb the highest peak, plant the banner of civility... you won't even make the 6 o'clock news. Oh, you went where the wild things are. That's nice, this will pay the rent, how? |
A link to 40 charts and graphs showing how the US gets fed... more interesting than it sounds. :haha:
|
That link is amazing. You could spend an hour or two digesting (hee hee) it all.
I've been thinking about my diet a lot lately, and it's interesting to me to see the 3-4 charts on the rise of obesity in this country and how it matches almost exactly in increase in daily caloric intake, and an increase in grain and fat consumption. Americans need to eat fewer grains, less meat, and more fruits and vegetables. The food pyramid from a decade or two ago with grains on the bottom really fucked up this country. I think a lot of people still think grains are good and should be eaten in abundance instead of limited. I know I did. Fuckin' Wheaties. |
Wow. You've done a Wheatie 180.
I'm so disillusioned right now. |

Profile of the white bigots joining Stormfront..

I'd never heard of Stormfront. Assuming this is what we're talking about...
|
That be it. :yesnod:

Guess I haven't gotten to that particular corner of the web...

Kentucky is lagging behind, PA leads the way with a large and varied choice of hate groups. After all, this is the age of specialization. :rolleyes:
