Heavy Hitting Question of the Week

_MB_POSTED_BY admin in question-of-the-week

 Welcome to the weekly section of this blog called
Question of the Week: This is where I ask a preposterously pontificating (and probably rhetorical) question... Then you answer it as best as you can... preferably with another question 
(or you know, however you want...)  
 

Question of the Week:

As a society, do we really care about a celebrity's death more than the hundreds dying in Iran just the day before? Do we care more about a million $$ talent than a million children starving to death- right now?? 

 

Can you make a comment that will restore my faith in humanity?

- The madly confused blogger...who may have been stopped in her tracks.

 

 PS. here is an MSNBC article about what happened on the internet yesterday w/ MJ and Iran etc... They say that just because everyone was tweeting & posting things on facebook about Jackson doesn't mean they 'forgot' about Iran...I have to beg to differ there. I mentioned this to some friends also and many didn't even hear about the massacre that had just occurred! What are we all paying attention to?? Sure, even in Iran they are mourning for him... I just think we need to keep a little perspective that's all. We don't pay enough attention as it is to what happens in the world, let alone when we are allowed to be distracted by something like the death of a pop legend...Voices of dissent are there for a reason NBC, thank you very much.
