THOUGHTS OF A POET IN THE RAIN

0450 3/29/11………WHY?

For God’s sake, why do we hero worship idiots? Why is it our society can tell you who is on Dancing with the Stars but cannot tell you who the Secretary of State is? Charlie Sheen, high on drugs gets more attention that our being worried about the danger our troops face in combat. We are more worried about the fighting over Elizabeth Taylor’s fortune than the family of a young Marine killed defending our country.  Why is that?
