4. Since this was posted yesterday, I assume it's not a DUers work. The drawing SUCKS1!

Just saying. For all the pop culture cleverness, it really hurts to see what passes for even amateur cartooning. :thumbsdown:

7. No, it's not a DUers

Hence the "original link" I posted to give credit where credit is due.

Didn't see it yesterday, or I wouldn't have posted it today.

5. No one human being's is more important than the other. Every second

someone in the world dies. They lived. They breathed. They existed. We objectify people then we mourn or celebrate there death. How many dead children in Iraq have you thought about today?
I think about them every day.:dem:

6. I don't think that how many times I've thought of them today

is the issue. It's that no one else in the world seems to remember them that I have an issue with.

It is sad when anyone dies, but the media never went crazy over all the people we've killed in Iraq. When did they have 24 hours of news on the innocent people we killed in Fallujah? When was there 24 hours of mourning for the dead in Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, China, Honduras, Iran?

Well, the girl who died in Iran got quite a bit of coverage, but none of the others that died that day did.

Why do we allow the media to tell us who is worth mourning for?
