US congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords shot point blank at public meeting (805)
gininitaly: I don't even pay attention to the media... besides who owns them anyway?
A lot of Americans do and the shoe fits... don't delude yourself into thinking reason is anywhere near at hand or that we have a real free press... follow the money.

Ok, you have no questions to ask me............but I have three I would like to ask you.
What is your source of information concerning politics in America, I might like to try it.
Are you an American living in Italy?
I know what "follow the money" means.....I have never done it ....if that is what you do, do you have to sacrifice much, emotionally, to do that, you know, "follow the $" thing.....Just curious......

Last night while checking my private email at home I recieved a long letter from my sis-in-law in regards to the terrible tragedy in Tuscon,Arizona.Here's just a small portion of that letter.
Instead of assigning blame,we should be weeping for 9-year old Christina who came into this world on Sept 11,2001 (a day of unspeakable terror) and who's life ended on a day of senseless violence.Perhaps her short life can teach us something.
Pray also for those whose hearts have become so hardened by power and ambition that they view this ocassion as an "opportunity to be exploited" rather than a human tragedy to be mourned.
Just as we did on Sept 12,we must come together as a nation to heal, not inflame.

CC, great post. It seems the media still wants to exploit this senseless tragedy as a hate crime. Can't they just stop, for once.

Good Morning.Yes leigh she is.She's always been my favorite sister in law.Actually she's been more like a biological sister then my own sister ever thought of being.My brother and her met at a parents without partners club when their kids were very little.They were married over 30 yrs and helped in rasing each others kids.
Since my bothers passing last Sept 12 she has had to carry on in his place.They were both involved in the Oregon912 to make sure that Obama stuck by the Consitution.She's also written some books as well.

Isn't it curious that the media would keep fanning this thing when it may be seen by some that it would be in their best interest (the media) to just let this whole thing die down! KEEP DANCING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They only really care about what sells news.
This country will never heal or come together with all this finger pointing going on in the media.

But it pretty much came down to me being the Pollyanna in this day and age... not the other way around.
Now where was I?
