Hmm. She seems to think she can handle it. This whole thing is rather messed up, but what else is new? It fascinates me how a 12 year old girl getting knocked up causes so much outcry, when there's so much worse shit going on around the globe.
You know, Someday i'd like to go down to the CNN offices while they're running all their "Scandolous human interest" stories (It Bleeds = It Leads) and say "Look, we get it. Humanity is fucked up. Now can you do some actual work in regards to finding out the deep dark watergate-ish type shit that's going on that effects all of us?"
Because it's all the media hype and backwards morality that exist around sex that we consider it more interesting than global politics or what the hell the government or some corporation is up to. That stupid little girl is proud alright, proud to be a goddamn smokescreen like so many others before her. They just keep on coming, and everyone obeys because sex is so mysterious and forbidden. That's why sex sells.
Sorry to rant, but the "weak coverage" of real issues (Ie "I think the president was trying to convince us that..." versus "I have evidence that the president lied about...") kind of brought this out in me. It's light news and the media has made it into a hot button issue. And the more we hear, the less we care.
Tired Man's Rant is over. Ad Infinitum Ipso Facto. (Don't know what it means, but it feels right and the medication is making me tired.)
