Hillary saw that she was being overtaken by Obama and desperately needed to distract the liberal media from dwelling on it. So she had her friends at the Illuminati stage this “disaster”.
Now when I say “stage this ‘disaster’”, I mean that it really never happened. It was all filmed in a sound stage owned by one of her liberal Hollywood pals.
But Hillary was scheduled to meet with the Rutgers girls today, this massacre has put her in a horrid spot. Thus, the conspiracy theory can not be to her benefit.
You know, one boo boo on somebody I know = one maiming of a local stranger = somebody dead in Sumter = a hundred dead across the state line = five hundred dead across the ocean. I think that’s just the way people’s brains work.
I agree. Along similar lines, it’s harder to put ourselves in the shoes of people in Sudan who have died over the past several years than it is to imagine ourselves on a U.S. college campus.
I agree. I also think that if 32 soldiers/marines were killed in one incident in Iraq, it would be a fairly big news item and provoke a bigger sense of sorrow and shock in most of us than the typical and terrible daily dose of 2 or 3 deaths.
In 2001, about 3000 Americans died in a terrorist attack (you might have heard about it). The same year, more than 42,000 Americans died in car accidents. But the big news story was the terrorist attack, not the car accidents, even though the car accidents killed 14 times as many people. For whatever reason, a lot of people dying at one time is more likely to make the news than people dying a few at a time, even if more people die a few at a time.
If 32 American soldiers were to die in a single attack, it would be a fairly significant news story.
As long as we’re comparing death totals, 17,000 people a year are killed in the United States as the result of drunk driving. The Iraq War would have to go on at its current level of violence for about twenty years to kill as many Americans as die in a single year in drunk driving accidents. Yet people seem to accept drunk driving as a fact of life.
And heck, in the USA every year almost a MILLION PEOPLE die of heart disease. So why worry about the Iraq War when what’s needed is a war on Doritos and chocolate?
The VT shooting is a major story because 32 students murdered in their school is very, very unusual. Drunk driving accidents are an everyday occurrence. Soldiers dying for Dick Cheney is, sadly, almost an everyday occurrence. People keeling over because they’re old or fat and their tickers stop working happens every minute. News concentrates on stuff you don’t already know.
