If you want to get angry about something worthwhile try this on for size.

Late last year four Canadians were murdered by drugged up USAF pilots.
These four Canadians were fighting "terroism" [whatever that is nowadays]
basically to aid the US. These four Canadians received all of four seconds
of news coverage in the US followed by being *blamed* by the families of the
USAF pilots. As if planned and static firing ranges were taboo.

That all aside this highlights two troubling habits of the americans people
[well US specifically]

1. People seem to have little trouble sending armed forces off to die. You
rarely see daily coverage of specific names and such like you do with NASA.
2. US Citizens seem to care even less about the lives of non-americans. As
if Canadians or British [or such] solidiers who die in battle are worth any
less [specially when its Americans who tend to kill them!]

So if you want to bitch about something why not bitch about the trend in the
US to be zenophobic.
