We as Americans are pretty screwed up. Miley Cyrus acting like a coked up stripper on the VMA's and Ben Affleck getting the part of Batman are big news and spreading like wildfire on the internet. Meanwhile 70,000 Kurds and Muslims have been murdered by their own government or else the old army in Syria, piled up in mass ditches like the Jews were, being bombed with chemical weapons, dying horrific deaths, being tortured and raped, and that's just not as important to the general public to know or freak out about. Whether we have a right to intervene or not is not what I am talking about here. I just think we as Americans are pretty screwed up in general with what we want information about and the knowledge we feel is important to pass on.
