It’s Sad, Really

Michael Jackson has died, and it’s sad, really, that Jackson’s death creates more buzz and more active individual participation in an event which has no actual bearing on individuals’ lives; overwhelming Twitter’s capacity to twitter, according to my local news, ringing radio station’s phones off the hook, causing Drudge to list ten (10) headlines in red letter, big news, now hear this tripe; than the federal government’s attempts to tax Americans into submission via socialized health care or climate warming programs, or what have you.

It’s sad, really, that Jackson’s death is more interesting to people than the impending death of the American way of life.

  1. Kids on the internet have these cute little acronyms to convey their assent or agreement with something that’s said. “QFT”, “WIN!”, and sometimes simply, “^this.” 

    I just wanted to point out that if I were the sort to engage in this sort of behavior, this post is precisely the context in which I would do such a thing.

    I am sorry that MJ finally died after losing his long battle against going completely bonkers, but the freedoms I’m losing now will continue to matter to me long after everyone has stopped caring about his passing.  In fact, I will continue to care about them until *I* die.
