Peeves and More


It’s been awhile since I’ve had some pet peeves listed on this blog.

Why is the FCC thinking of relaxing some rules that would allow Rupert Murdock to buy more newspapers in this country?

Doesn’t he have enough media control already? It would be one thing if his News Corp had the integrity of impartiality in all his media outlets, but it’s another thing to pander and promote only the conservative right.

I often agree with a conservative point of view, but when it is the only point of view allowed to be expressed in the Murdock controlled media its validity diminishes in the waning light of singularity.

The United States of America was founded on compromise. It flourished on compromise. It succeeds on compromise. Continued contention in Congress, without compromise, will harm our future and fertilize our decline into the annals of history.

An old pet peeve, but still valid. Why do some drivers wait until they see your direct lights before they dim their own?

Why do panderers put so much creative energy and time into asking for money when the same amount of effort might generate a comfortable job?

Why is the world not paying close attention to the imminent global dangers from the Fukushima Nuclear Power plant in Japan?

Why are the poor and homeless disenfranchised from immediate and compassionate governmental help in the clean up and establishment of basic services in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy?
