erg. okay, this may seem long. if it is, please forgive me.
First off: the news media disregarded their need to get the truth out years ago. i just kind of woke up to all of this in the last few years. I've gone through most of my life ignoring the news and media completely. it was irresponsible. anyhow, now I try hard to pick up now, though.
if you are a reporter... you should Report. if anybody in the world should know why the people's opinions are important, it should be the reporters! their job is to report!
too often those who have a difficult time speaking are ignored.... this is wrong. the reasoning is normally 'it's too slow', but look, you have a _job_. deal.
this is one of the very few things about Bill Maher pissed me off about. BM is a hero to me. he says the truth, be damned if you don't like it. he's honest.
one night, instead of just saying thanks to a person who asked a long question (the guy was obviously very, very nervous) he said 'what was the question? I fell asleep". I wanted to slap the hell out of him. i can see their point, nobody wants to sit forever if they can get an answer from someone who tells it at a quicker pace, bu if your job is to get facts and obtain a people's public opinion, you have to deal with a lot of things you're going to not like. get over it.
anyhow, i feel like i'm doing a very poor job here with this post. i'm tired. i keep getting redundant. maybe tomorrow i'll try again.. just ... if you want to be popular or famous, join a fucking boy band. if you want to Make A Difference, then open your eyes.
i speak out so much on here and BBS cuz i know disabled people get overlooked. some nighs i wear myself out o get a point driven in from my POV. show us the curtosy and put a little effort into hearing people who will make themselves sweat from determination because they do have something important to say.
good night.
