I have written tens of thousands of long passionate comments, and hundreds of OPs on torture, on war, on economic equality, on Civil Rights, on Wall St Corruption, on War Criminals on many blogs, but never seem to get the kind of interest these movie stars and their problems get.
By comparison, I've written only about five or six comments on this subject, yet THESE ARE THE ONES YOU REMEMBER.
See, you make you point. You don't recall the thousands of comments I've made here on human rights issues, on the poor, on torture, etc. but you remember the few I've made on this issue.
Thanks, that confirms my opinion that we have to use 'sex' or some form of sensationalism, to try to stop the horrendous abuses of our government around the world to innocent people with no sign of them stopping. It''s not enough to write about children being sodomized in US Controlled prisons in their own country. Or the rape of women by US troops in gulags under their control, in countries they occupy illegally. Or the killing of children by drone, where their parents cannot even recognize the pieces that are left.
But talk about some movie stars accusing someone they are fighting with over custody of molesting one child twenty years ago and people will go to bat for them, without even knowing if it's true.
I will have to think about this and how it can be applied to try to save the children we will be killing tomorrow or next week or next year, to get the same level of interest going.
