3582 Priorities

Monday, July 23, 2012

Reality is merely a consensus.

------------------------------------------------------

Um, let's see. 

12 dead from shooting in movie theater in Colorado.  Remaining 59 injured likely to survive.  24-hour news coverage.  Flags all over US go to half-mast.

13 dead in truck accident in Texas.  Remaining 10 injured not likely to live.  Brief stories on news.  Everyone shrugs and makes comments about clown cars.  No mention of flags.

I don't understand.

By the way, there are places in the world where things like the theater shootings happen every day.  Many more places where they happen weekly.  We have no concept.

Yeah, there was a story on cnn.com about 16 people in a market being killed by an IED in (I think) Iran. Just another day in the life there, tragically.

(There was a woman reporter on the radio this morning, who kept saying that the guy's apartment was full of IUDs.)
