I'm sure I sound cynical, however I was a bit perturbed at the whole tradition of the President pardoning the Thanksgiving turkey. It wasn't so much that, but then after the ceremony, the two turkeys that were pardoned, were being flown first class to Disney World so that they might participate in the Thanksgiving Parade. I mean, would the American people really be upset if the turkeys flew in the cargo hold like all the other animals who fly?
All of this is just tradition, and there's nothing wrong with traditions. But people care about this story and don't care about others. So I'm faced with the problem of how to get people to care about genocide, starvation, and violence in another country other than their own.
Every morning I watch CNN News so I can get a full coverage of headline news around the world. With all of the things happening across Africa, not one story makes it. Unfortunately, I must go to the BBC or other international news sources to get any information on what is going on in Africa. I have found no American tv or news source that reports with any regularity on anything that happens in Africa. The reason for that, we don't care. We simply don't care or we don't care enough to do anything about it.
