Bootwhistle
Well the school year is winding down pretty rapidly and I'm beginning to feel a little stressed, the year has gone by pretty fast and its like time is flowing faster than I care to keep track of. Honestly though there isn't a whole lot of important stuff I've missed such as the latest fashion trends and insipid celebrity gossip however one has to wonder how much useful infortmation actually passes us by. When you hear news about some distant part of the world one can't help but wonder what the whole story is, honestly news we are fed is packaged to be as entertaining as possible (which is why it is watchable), real hard fact news would probably give have the audience rigor mortis from the shear overload of information. What I think scares me more than anything else though is how most people seem to form unwavering opinions based on very little actual fact and mostly on opinion, impressions and Fox news (yes, even in Canada). I'm okay with people having different opinions but they should at least be able to acknowledge that it doesn't make them automatically right and everyone wrong *cough* bush *cough*.
