Really?!
Does this trouble any one else? In one day of "news worthy" items I saw: a devastating earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand; rioting against the government in Libya; and...Jennifer Aniston and Justin Bieber got haircuts!
We have lost track of what is really newsworthy. I have friends in Christchurch area, so I can relate there. I do not want to be at war with Libya, and perhaps I need a haircut as well. Perhaps I will put it on my blog.
I don't think it's just what is newsworthy that we've lost track of. As a society, and maybe a world, we've lost track of what is important. There are vast differences between those who have too much, those who have enough, and those who have too little, but not enough emphasis on really doing what is necessary to fix that. But also we've become so enamored of the lives of "the rich and famous" that we see our lives as not as interesting - to the point we think their haircut is important enough to be news.
