Reactions from the News

I just finished reading a few of the morning news posts, and have to say: "what the heck is going on?" For the second time in less than a week a plane has fallen from the sky and killed over a hundred people. The first in Greece, today's was in Venezuela. Very far apart, but in both cases the planes were full of Europeans. What a devastating blow for both Greece and France. I hope this trend ends here.
In other news, Cindy Sheehan is still making headlines in her struggle to disgrace the memory of her son. In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, Sheehan regretfully lost her son in the war in Iraq and now demands to speak with the President, again (she already spoke with him once). Basically; she is a war protester who is using the death of her son to make headlines. Her husband is now filing for divorce. I can't support the move, as I do not agree with divorce, but I can understand. This woman has used the memory of her son's death to push herself to the forefront of the anti-war (or anti-freedom) movement. Form what I have read, her family is adamantly opposed to her madness, which shows an obvious fact in America. Although many people may support the President, or at least are neutral, it's the groups that are opposed to the President that make headlines. Not because the media is biased as much as because that is where the news is.
Anyway, this is not a political blog, so I will get off the soap box. I just got worked up by the news this morning.
