Okay, okay, so someone else died that was in Hollywood's limelight. And then? If someone from my hometown died, do you think that the media would know about it or even care?

I understand, even sympathize with the faqmily and friends of Anna Nicole, but, with all this attention she's getting after her death, it makes the news appear as though she was an important icon in our world. For real! I have nothing but disdain for the media and their reasonings for making a big freaking deal out of a star dying. Since she was well known for her diet pill endorsement, her lack of intelligence, obvious fake beauty, (fake body parts), parentage questioned etc.....now that she's dead, everyone is coming out of the wood work to say how much the United States cared about her. Ummm, WTF? I would understand if she had been "like" Marilyn Monroe, but, I think she was a far cry from her.

Okay, okay, maybe I'm being a bit hard on her......whatever! The media should be concerned about what's going on in our nation, not in Hollywood. Cause guess what? The majority of us have lives we are more focused on than the entertainment arena. I mean, if I wanted to know about the rich, famous and celebs in the world, I'd look online! Papparazzi needs to be more concerned with invasion of privacy issues that they are always seeming to ignore. The fact that they have nothing better to do than to try and publicize the lives of the entertainment world 24/7 is ridiculous! Are there no other stories out there? CNN doesn't seem to have any problems getting news. VH-1 has no shortage of stories to show.

I guess I feel a bit confused as to why we care so much about what others are doing, like there is not enough to keep our attention in other realms, or is it because we have been so de-sensitized to world events that we have to focus more on star's lives and their trashy lifestyles rather than the obvious WAR, MURDER, VIOLENCE, HOMELESS, WELFARE, IMMIGRATION, CORRUPT POLITICS, LACK OF DOMESTIC POLICY REFORM etc.

If we knew what was good for our nation, we would divert our troops back to our shores, rally them to the borders between us and our Mexican neighbors, pay them to actually do something worth wile, like protecting our borders from intruders. Hmm, I bet that'll never happen, seeing as how it actually makes sense. I get so tired of ranting about things that I can truthfully not do anything about. Even as a voter, it seems that the general public have become so dazed with policies, laws, lives, personal problems, Hollywood stars lives, that we don't care about the "real issues". And not a damn one of the upcoming presidential campaign runners will ever be able to address properly the real issues in front of us in this world today. Bush, well, all I can say about him is, I'm glad he's on his way out! Thank God! But, how can I be happy with any of the upcomings? They all pretty much suck for their own reasons. I have an idea...why don't we have a debate between the campaigners and the general public. So we can present the issues to them on an upfront platform, rather than having our corrupt senators, representatives or congress men/women do it for us. Isn't it "supposed" to be , Of the people, by the people and for the people? Why don't we take a more active role? I can give one or two good reasons why we don't. Because we are so used to having everything done a certain way, "I only vote republican, or I only vote Democrat" forget voting for a good choice. It's better to vote for a loser than to vote for a winner, cause that's what we did the last 2 terms of Bush' office. He's a true blue loser republican thief and liar. He's proven that over and over, but he still got re-elected!!! Again I ask, WTF?!?!

It's about time we get someone in office that is closer to the public in the way of issues dealt with, policies not heard about, laws written under our noses without so much as a vote to let them become law. How many times are we going to allow our government to push us down, walk all over us and smile while they do it? I'm not smiling! Iam not even bitching or whining. I'm simply stating what is on my mind. I won't even bother to refer to the freedom of speech bull crap. Nothing in this country is truely free. We pay the government for the right to vote, live, work, eat, buy and sell, pro-create, worship, even pay to go to war for ignorant politicians right wing agenda's! We are the suckers in our nation. We allow unchecked policy to be written for us, because we elect the ones making those policies. We pay for corrupt Policemen and women to guard our sorry lazy asses. We pay for the economy to sag and cause poverty upon our people. We pay to support foreign nations while they are in the middle of civil war among their own countrymen. We support actions against our own people while in the midst of fighting war on a never ending supply of insurgents, in a country that was not even minutely suspect for bombing the World Trade Center Towers. We are paying for the WMD action, that never amounted to anything except a vendetta against the King of Iraq. Never mind the fact that he was as insane as we all thought! And a murdering scum like the rest of his abominable countrymen. We are paying to school foreigners that are embedded in our country even now, despite Homeland security trying to secure our land from terrorism. WTF?!?!

Anyways, I could rant and rave a long time on these topics, but I have to go throw up now. I am so sick of bitching to a government that doesn't care about it's people. Just the almighty dollar and what it can do to win at the "Most popular nation contest."

I wish that Global warming would hurry up and wipe out the population that has scattered itself upon the planet. Then we could think about getting back to the real issue. Life, the way it was intended. Innocence, without tarnished opinions or expectations.

Okay, I'll stop for now.

By the way, it's been 37 days without smoking! At least I can keep my word to myself.

Peace or pieces, whichever comes first.
