I am so tired of being led by the nose by the political TV shows and pundits. Why aren't all the American people? Maybe it's just me in my household that is sooooo frustrated by the opinions of the Bill O'Reillys and Keith Obermanns of the world. Is this happening in other homes or just mine?
I see the people in Missouri demonstrating, picketing, and looting over the killing of a black kid by a white cop. I hear the pundits and people who have a mic before them spewing their opinions of the incident, then I see everyday people breaking in to businesses in the area. Now what is that about? The kid that was killed? The cop that killed him? The liquor store that was robbed before the kid was killed? How does this human behavior fix the problem, make whites love blacks and/or blacks love whites, or expedite the investigation into the situation so that blame can be placed where it needs to be placed?
And why do we sit in front of our television set and listen to the hogwash that is fed to us? One network is spewing a liberal opinion, another spews the conservative view. Is there no where to get news, just news without somebody sticking a hook into our noses to lead us around the mule track?
I say no there is not, not in this immediate news society. I am not watching it, I am saying right here and now if the rhetoric is going on in the television set in my house-- I am retreating to my art room or going to leave this house. I need peace, and I will get it.
