Get with it, Jane Stacy. This has been a week of news about change. This morning they announced on Reliable Sources that the most visited city in the world is now Bangkok --first time Asian city has come to forefront. What happened to London and/or Paris! But what happened to people making their vacation choices! What made the touristas want to go to Bangkok! It is a major change!
So look at major change stories of this week. The news media has had a field day. But have they presented both sides of stories? And do we allow the minority to have their say in private conversation, on social media and in news media! Because there Are two sides to every story at least! And one of them is not mine!
The Supreme Court started off this week with its ruling on Voting Rights and Defense of Marriage. Wow, talk about conversation starters! I agree with the commentator I heard this morning that DOM view was completely slanted in the news media. And it was, even though I agreed with the ruling. There are many people, good people, who think that marriage is between a man and a woman and they are entitled to believe that way! But then consider all the other stories going on: Egypt is on edge and is ready to boil over; Ed Snowden is in Moscow wanting someone, anyone, to extradict him, And Paula Deen--c'mon do I think that she said an expletive 20 years ago --something is not believable about this. She is either losing money for her sponsors or someone has the goods on her in a lawsuit. It just goes on and on.
I need to get with it and decide what I believe by listening and
learning about every issue. But world, take care of yourself this week. Ed Snowden can stay in Moscow till he rots, Paula Deen can stay in her restaurant and add more butter in every recipe and gay couples can get gloriously married in 13 states. But I am concentrating on the wedding of my grandson, Colin Dyer, and Adrienne Mary this week in Cincinnati. Oh, yeah, courts in Sanford, Florida can decide if there is a "creepy ass cracker" in their midst.
