Jeez you guys are fast lol. Not even a few hours I’m done uploading everything and 2 folks msg me on MSN and another 2 dropped a line in the Guestbook! I didn’t want to publish it to the world or wutever since I haven’t put anything in the Bits Bytes part. I mean, how did you guys checked on my site anyway? heheheh But I do appreciate the visit and comments though

Here’s another one before I go to bed. Wait, make that two.

1. Like the kite in John Newton’s poem, “Before cutting any string, make sure it’s not one that’s holding you up”.

2. Imagine the level of importance of the following two news: a deadly major prison break that crushed what the allied (I was going to say Americans, but heck, its Canadians this time) has worked for for the last few years and can only do worse to the takeover war-on-terror, which has been and will, claims more innocent lives… OR a new scientific discovery that proves that eating overcooked/burnt food can actually increase the chance of Cancer due to their increase of toxic molecules.
In today’s newspaper, the prison break will definitely cover a good half of the front page, while the scientific discovery will be discussed on page 15 or so. If they’re lucky.
Now, those are exagerrated number (damn Blog got no spell-check lol), but I kinda paused for a few second and think of the immediate impact of those two news to my local societies…
Well I’m sleepy and going to bed now, but that comparison had really planted itself on my brain for the whole weekend. It could’ve just been me being a little paranoia, but… come on. Is the purpose of today’s newspaper is pure entertainment? Is today’s society prefer to worry (or entertained) and dwell more on the seemingly-popular past events rather than investing the time and money on a smaller scale news that might answer our issues for a better future? Note that I’m not blaming the press as many would say the press strive to deliver what the readers want to read.
There’s a lot of reason to it, and plenty of discussion and arguments I’m sure…
But it really bugged me how by not looking at the big picture, it suddenly became natural to blindly accept the normality of subjectively absorbing information that should’ve been prioritized better, y’know?

LOL I hope that makes sense.
