You guys say America knows/cares about nearly everything. Go down on the streets and asks regular jills and joes about the world climate, nearly none of them will know what is going on...
What I am saying is that yeah we care, when the media stuffs it down our throat we care. I guarantee if the media didn't shove the 2004 tsunami down our throat noone would have cared. Ask a normal person who the attorney general is, they won't even know even though Gonzales is in trouble. Why would we know what is going on around the world if we don't even know what goes on in our own borders.
My point, American's can give a shit less. They just show up and help for the self gratification every once in a while and to be able to tell themselves they are a postitive force in the world.
As I said in an earlier post, I don't hate my land, I hate my people.
