How to Negate the Media

Krypton for the Media: The Off Button.

In the year of the 2008 Election the lack of high grade media coverage of the Race is obvious. In fact it has been awhile that I have read, heard, seen any general media work worthy of my time, or anybody else's by the way.

So more Power to the People! Turn off the radio and TV, and burn most of the newspapers printed. The Media is not worth it. It is just hyperbole.

Common Sense for 4th Graders

This has got to be taught by the parents to their children. But. But if the parents don't have any, their kids are doomed for life, and they will in turn make their offspring dumb.

Recently two fourth graders put in charge of flag duty tested something they saw on TV. They wanted to test the theory that placing one's tongue on a frozen pole would make your tongue stick to it and require painful removal. So thinking ( or rather thinking without common sense) they tried it out. Now, why didn't think this thought overwhelm their sensibility, what would happen to me if my tongue DID actually stick to the pole?

So I ask you readers, why wasn't this imparted to them by the parents? Like I said, common sense has to be taught by the parents and if they don't have any then this is just like poverty....perpetuated by generation of stupid folks to another generation of clueless people.

Sad.

Sports and Racism

Ok, I've lived long enough to know that complaining about racism in sports is boring. What's the point? The offended wants what, an unbiased environment? If it isn't attainable in other parts of our society what makes this arena so special that it warrants this distinction? The answer is it doesn't. And the laughable part is that sports by its elements is the biased of all worlds. Ironic isn't this?

The latest episode of "Waaa, waaaa, I've been offended" is from the Golf world. Tiger, the offended has forgotten about Kelly's slight. But Jim "Throw gas on the fire" Brown wants to perpetuate this. Why? Brown's Vanity and need to be heard. Pure and simple. Oh, oh, plus the stupid sports Media who wants to write about it as if it is worthy.

Try this one on, Mr. Brown, get your non-white athletes to contribute in a positive way with their mega millions salaries and, Media, write about that. Let's glorify their efforts if there are any to be glorified and noted.

Actors and sports figures and the Media that follows them have got to be expunged from our news channels, written and spoken, and replaced by noteworthy progress in real reduction of racism in this country.
