Don't get me wrong, I posted a joke, but the amount of energy spent on comments on Justin Bieber today is a direct reflection of our society's decay. We have tens of millions who are sick without care, tens of millions poor and hungry, hundreds of thousands of veterans not getting proper care, over a million out of work with benefits cut and a congress who is paid to stand up fir them on vacation two weeks after returning from one. I saw no posts about anything important, but tons about Bieber, reality stars, homeless animals and, as I am guilty myself, discussions of food excesses.
I am not complaining for myself and I know I don't change many minds via Facebook, but lets really grasp what the likes of MLK were saying when we think of others first. Even if it's once a day.
