Ten Things I’d Like to See People Get Outraged About
on December 20, 2014 at 12:01 am
The news is all over “someone” (possibly the North Koreans) hacking Sony’s website. But quite frankly, although that’s a crime and a shame, aren’t there bigger fish to fry? Isn’t there a lot more to be outraged about in the news?
1. The Torture Report: Not really the report, but the summary, it’s pretty bad.
2. Going Back to Iraq: Yeah, seriously. What is this? 2004?
3. Police Militarization: What happened? Weren’t we just talking about this?
4. Afghanistan: Are we actually leaving? We’re still there. Still paying for it.
5. Police Unions: Maybe if your members didn’t behave so poorly, you wouldn’t have people so upset.
6. The Cold War Restarts: What is this? 1964 and 2004 at the same time?!
7. Drones: They’re still killing people. Still basically illegal.
8. The NSA: They’re watching, watching yooooooou.
9. Going Broke on War: Guess what we’re buying again?
10. And the Rest: Of the world, which we seem to occupy.
I know, I should write something funny. Tomorrow, I will. Today, think on this. And if the world gets you down, just click on this.
