News in America....or is it?

When you check the top fifty news stories of the day are you ever surprised at what rounds the top 10? I am usually always surprised. Today, number seven Arnold Schwarzenegger has a secret love child, really?  Seems that news beats out a lot of news in the middle east. Number 13 exploding watermelons in China. No mention of the looming debt payment America is about to default on to China just exploding watermelons. Makes you ponder the physic of the America people. No wonder our country is in the mess it is in and no one really seems to concerned. It seems it is more important for us to meddle in peoples marital affairs while watching watermelons explode. If oblivion equates to bliss, we as Americans must be the happiest stupid people in the world. Apparently the less we know, the better we like it.  Worrying about watermelons and Arnold won't keep me awake at night but worrying about the collapse of the dollar as the standard for world currency might.  The part we have forgotten is that problems and worry are often the catalyst that lead to solutions and real change. Maybe we should all spend a little more time worrying, so that our country's problems might find solutions and resolutions. Take 15 minutes a day to contemplate our country's future, I am sure Arnold won't mind.
