    Things like this make me ashamed to live in the United States.

    Notice the quote: "US mainstream media refuses to report this." Disgusting.

    Any Canadians or Scots got a house to let?

    Oh I know that.

    Never the less, the fact that mainstream media here, who are supposed to be so very concerned about what goes on here and what affects everyone here, apparently doesn't give a **** about this. I think that is what irks me the worst. Not about some mega corporation and what they should or should not have done, that's nothing but pork in someone's pocket anyway, but the fact that the people who should be screaming the loudest about the problem that still exists simply don't care to admit there is one. No money to be made in announcing it, not when they get healthy payoffs from making hero's out of company's like BP and Monsanto and all the rest.

    That's what outrages me. They don't care a fig about actual news or actual facts or anything as lame as that. No, it's what makes money, plain and simple. Greed at it's finest. It's disgusting. And I needed to rant a little anyway, my blood pressure gets way too high if I don't blow off a little steam now and then.

    Canada also gave us Rush. That cancels out any of their mistakes. Rush trumps bieber any day.

    I understand where you're coming from though. We have to report about the boston bombing for the next 6months. By them we'll have some other tragedy to report on. Who cares about the gulf coast?! Thats just how our media works lol
