What a Day in the News

Today I was overwhelmed by news. As I traveled my regular route through the internet I was slammed again and again by violent, unbelievable, disturbing news. By the end I felt impotent to do anything.. so what better to do then to share these things with all of you.

Criminal Minds, CSI, Sherlock Holms...psychopaths and murder. But when it hits real life, apparently that is a bridge to far. But really who hosts this video? Why do people watch such stuff? Why do I like crime shows?

The gong-show in parliament. Frustrating to watch from the side-lines knowing the budget will pass. Yet is is inspiring to see people who are willing to fight with resolve for what they believe in. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/06/14/pol-commons-budget-bill-vote-marathon.html

More government mischief. If this was proposed by China the west would be up in arms, but it quietly occurs here at home while no one notices. Frustrated.

Then I turned to the world. Things did not seem more optimistic. Well they caught the guy, his alleged crime gave me shivers to imagine.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-18453996

Thoroughly disturbing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-18453995 I have no words.

I am not sure if conflict ever truly ends. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18453372

Then I wonder if I have any right complaining about anything, because my life does not resemble anything like this. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2012/06/201261503338837464.html I may not like the Canadian Government at the moment but at least it is not like this.

Thus concludes my depressing encounter with the internet, and my regurgitation of it into blog form.
