Global insanity

So with a global recession, massive oil spill, U.S. immigration fiasco, an unending war in the middle east, and countless other daunting issues I awake this morning to discover that Lindsay Lohan is wanted for missing a court date. I am so amazed at Americans ability to allow the media to distract us from the real issues. I mean how can we justify this as news with all the other problems the world is facing? Have we been so programmed to except the end of the world through organized religion and movies that we are allowing it? What needs to happen before a global outcry for change can be heard over the sound of money changing hands? If this is evolution I'm not sure that we should be happy with the outcome.
