Pandemic of Ignorance

Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't we feel a bit silly for allowing our nations leaders,television broadcasters,clothing designers,magazine editors and gizmo inventors to turn us into mouth-breathing,credit card swiping,goons?!
It made me chuckle and then immediately feel sad when I viewed on BINGS main page the current searches for today in this exact order: People's Choice Awards. Elizabeth Edwards. Jamie Pressly. and lastly, Sweden Birds.
The fact that the entire cast of Twilight will be in the same place at the same time totally trumps the fact that dozens of birds are dropping right out of the sky, having died from internal bleeding,mid-flight with NO explanation! Really?! Really?!
I will admit that I like to keep things in life light and enjoyable for the sake of my sanity I don't choose to go around dwelling on "Impending Doom" but for Christ's sake are we not just a little curious as to why creatures (birds,fish,honeybees)are popping up dead by the hundreds?! Or why in a state where two years ago you woke up Christmas morning and had four feet of snow to shovel from the driveway, but this year you wore flip flops to the in-laws gift exchange?! No?
If you're thinking, less bird shit on the car and Hooray! no need to dig out the snow blower than, happy ignorance to you my friend! But as for me, I'm a tad bit curious and would like to arm myself with knowledge of what the hell is happening to my planet!
If you to are curious I suggest you do some reading and research, keep an open mind and invest in a good can opener!
For the rest of you....just hide behind that ipod and designer bag and you'll be just fine!
