Its the news today

It's sensationalised in the tabloids; look at the differences between how they report it and how it's reported elsewhere. They make it into a boom-crash-pow Hollywood blockbuster, make it seem exciting (or "outrageous"), to entice people into buying their paper. It's mercenary and quite disgusting, if you think about it. Not that these killings shouldn't cause outrage, just that these money-making entities exploiting it no matter the cost is quite horrendous.

Status Quo's #1 fan for life, eh arista.

Just because it's "the way it works" or "the way it is" doesn't mean it's the right way or the way it should be. So many things about "the way things are" are complete and utter ****.

You should never just say 'that's the way things are' to things that are wrong.

I don't think not accepting things the way they are qualifies me as a "hippy", arista. If you think I'm all about "love and peace", then you really haven't been paying attention .
