On 2/10/11 I stopped into the local bar and restaurant for a drink and a salad. There weren't many people there maybe ten or so. They have two televisions behind the bar. One was tuned to a news channel which was showing the latest happenings in Egypt. The other was tuned to "American Idol".
I don't watch much TV but I do know that something big is happening in Egypt. Something that could have a big effect on all of us, especially if radical Muslims took over the nation. The crazy thing is that everybody was totally glued to "American Idol". I personally was astounded. Are people so disengaged about whats going on in the world? Are they so distracted by shiny baubles to be caught up in something that doesn't amount to a hill of beans. I have always been amazed at how the news media treats "American Idol" like its the biggest news sensation there is but this is just crazy.
