I could have just as easy said "**** XXXXX country" and it would have applied just the same. We pick and pluck little stories from other places that mean nothing, while around us, right here in our own country, our own state, things are going on. Would it not be better, for us as a whole, to concentrate on that news, on things that affect us directly?

What I said, I did for shock, and you note, it worked. It got people talking. It made people get angry, and that, is the only time you can get most people to want to talk about the real problems. The real story here isn't some guy with a forester who sued GM for a car they never made in the first place, for saying something in an advertisement. The bigger story here, is our apathy.
