No, dianavan. What bugs me is the 24 hour a day coverage the popular media in the US is giving to the Lacy Peterson case, while so many far more important news stories get no coverage at all. My Lacy Peterson point goes directly to my point about our media here serving the purpose of distracting us from the real issues with massive overcoverage and sensationalism of stories like the Lacy Peterson case. And before that, Martha Stewart. And before that, OJ Simposn, and Jonbennet Ramsey. It's all slight of hand. Distract us with bullshit with one hand, while they destroy everything worth living for with the other.

You ought to come back to the US for a while so you can feel for yourself how bad things have gotten here.
