What is the latest NEWS in America????
A woman!! A woman that is being tarred and feathered for speaking her mind. A woman that has every right to her opinion and when she speaks from her heart (So, even if it wasnt from her heart and she was just trying to save face, with a few) Its still her right to feel the way she does. But, the point is, THIS is what makes news in America! While millions of children starve around the globe! Its disgusting. You are right, Sumerian, We do live in a very troubled world!
