Human suffering

Why does is so much time on TV and in Film devoted to human suffering?
Don't get me wrong We need to know when our fellow humans are in distress... But to just observe these horrors and not help is just wrong.
To actually help should be the goal behind showing these things... Not charity, or sympathy but involvement.
How can it be justified by news agencies to spend millions upon millions to "cover" a horrible event and nothing to help?
Let's just put away that notion of "journalistic integrity" if it ever existed at all it is surely long dead now.
News bringer have long ago crossed the line and become news makers, so why not do some good?
Not theoretical good but real good... I mean they are there at the scene, with little to do but rehash a story over and over.
As for film... We all know that the budget for one "blockbuster" film could solve a lot of the world's problems.
You say they are helping ... Through their story telling?
Well that would be true if there was even a modicum of truth in any of their stories.
Does anyone doubt that when the story of New Orleans or of Natatlie Holloway are made ( and they will be) that the truth will be sacrificed for the sake of a good story?

Why does there have to be a racial component?

Why does their have to be a racial component to everything? People in Louisiana are suffering & dying, what the hell difference does it make what colour they are. If we could agree that ALL people are the same not in legislation but in our hearts life would be much better. Yes… simplistic I know but if it is… then why have we not done it?

A Decidedly Black Post- (advice for young lifers! ) part 1 of an exclusive 1,000,000 part Series

That's it friends, . I've finally flipped it! I'm going to keep writing on my favourite subject "Why humans (myself included) are so damn stupid", for a million posts or until the world's problems are solved... or fail to do so! and then... I'm going over to my window, to slide it open and shout... "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore! I've had enough of these life sucking idiots constantly assaulting me with their half-baked ideas about how the world is shaped, conveniently over looking the very basic fact that we should be shaping our world and we would if we could get up off our big fat asses for more than 5 minutes to get involved I can no longer take the endless waste and the resistance to truth that the way we live has brought. So whatcha you gonna do about it ... Mr. Schmarty, pants? well... glad You asked! First we gotta go way back... to take a look at all the crap we refused to give proper c

Are we so different?

When I started this blog my intent was to make a case for our sameness as a race... to highlight the falseness of the spaces that separate us. I wanted to simply say to all the people on this planet ( My Family) that it is much wiser to get together than it is to continue down the road killing everyone we see for arbitrary reasons of our own creation. Now don't get me wrong... I am not the salt of the earth, not filled with the milk of human kindness, nor am I the guy that would be described as one that would give you the shirt off his back. I am a simple realist... It is simply "bad for business" to hate, and in my humble opinion quite simple-minded. When I was young and still forming, the impulse to go along with the crowd just was not in me I don't know why. When I left my home to play or go to school it was always an adventure (it still is) I wanted to meet people... in my neighborhood, town, country, world... and as my circle got larger I realized that it was har
