and while people kill each other in wars worldwide....LiveJournal remembers what's Important.

Holy moly, I've seen more people cover Steve Irwin's death in posts on my FList (over 8 so far) in the past hour that it's disturbing (though I feel bad for his wife and two children, it's not like they will be penniless / without support / etc.) I'm sure the news in Australia will make it a headline on all the news stations even as we send illegal immigrants offshore to live in harsh conditions, even as we ignore the Australian Aboriginals who continue to live in fourth world - yes, fourth world - conditions.

Is this world skewed, or what?

I reckon the war of terror would get more coverage if everyone started killing each other with stingray barbs instead of bombs. *cough cough*

I don't see the fuss either. I assumed I was just heartless, but yeah it is skewed.

Well, I'm assuming that maybe I am a little heartless. But seeing about another 15 threads on exactly the same topic after this post just seemed like overkill.
