thoughts on the news of the day: news

hmmm…..

            There’s lots of news to choose from today.  In football, Texas Tech upset Oklahoma and in baseball, the Cardinals beat the Rangers in the third game of the World Series.  In world news, the death of Gadhafi is still a headline and the economy in Europe is teetering.  On the home front, Republican Presidential Nominee hopefuls Perry, Romney and now Cain are after each other and President Obama still can’t seem to get the economy under control.  In the midst of all that, Occupy Wall Street continues.

            So, what do I think about that?  I think the Rangers should win the championship.  Although this is Cardinal Country, I lived in Dallas for ten years and in Texas forever, so my allegiance lies there.  Even though I think it’s a shame that Texas Tech beat top ranked Oklahoma, it’s always nice to see the underdog win. 

            The death of Gadhafi has the same impact on me as the death of Ben Laden: murder is murder, but sometimes in some instances, it is almost OK.  And as far as the election?  It’s just too early to tell who will be nominated.  Now about Occupy Wall Street, I think that people have the right to protest things that seem wrong to them. 

            But what do you think about the events of today’s news?  Maybe you choose to ignore it; after all we don’t have much control over it anyway.  Maybe you love to debate and will take the other side, no matter how you really feel.  Maybe your feelings are somewhere in between: you care, but you don’t care to let your feelings be known.    

            As human beings we can think and feel deeply.  And how we express those thoughts and feelings is our choice.  I thank you for stopping by to hear mine and I hope you will drop by to let me know yours.
