Lol.
I appreciate when people keep up with current events; with political trends, the most recent grievances against our dear government, with the happenings of countries considered third to our own. I think it’s a worthy trait (and insanely attractive, but that’s besides the point). One thing I don’t like, but is an inevitable effect of the fast pace of our technology, is that these events become like fads. People find out about SOPA and they freak out for about one to two days, and it’s forgotten again. The fact that our own government would very bluntly try to filter our information is scary in itself, but it became an internet trend in itself to even be interested in its existence. That isn’t the only thing. Every catastrophe happens like this; no one remembers Haiti, or Japan, or Pakistan. And while it’s acceptable that America only has so much to give, I think the amount of apathy in the world is unacceptable. There was a time when nationalism was the bonding factor of the people of this country, and the loss of such a thing is so sad to me. Not nationalism, per say, because I don’t necessarily approve of the goings on of this country anymore, but just the attention span. The masses have failed to rebel, to create, and to destroy.
The only thing they’re destroying is intelligence.

I agree. I think it’s just human nature. As soon as the news stops dramatizing something to the nth degree, everyone else drops it too. Like these serious problems have gone away over night.
