Once in a while, I allow myself to digress from the main purpose of this blog and today is one of those times. So much is going on in the world that just makes me worry about where our priorities need to be. Consider these randoms event in recent weeks:
- A Rutgers University freshmen jumped off the George Washington bridge because he discovered his dormitory roommate and friends had broadcast a sexual encounter he had with another male on the internet.
- Lindsay Lohan has bounced in and out of jail and rehab units because she cannot or will not follow a judge's orders.
- The State of Delaware has the opportunity to place someone into the U.S. Congress who cannot name any Supreme Court decisions she is unhappy with.
- The Afghan leaders are trying to make peace with the Taliban warriors in their country.
- Michael Vick, convicted animal abuser and killer, is collecting a massive paycheck from the Philadelphia Eagles.
- For no good reason, Bristol Palin has turned into a TV star.
- Our country is so unbalanced that a movement from the late 1700's, known as the TEA Party, is rapidly gaining momentum.
In all honesty, I am just not sure what is going to happen next and suspect this is why companies are barely hiring, malls have empty storefronts, and many homes have "For Sale" signs in the front yard.
