A Nation moving on.

Not certain whether this is truly a positive or negative thing, but the buzz around the issues of the world, the war, our troops have essentially dissipated down around to absolutely nothing at all. At least the awareness, and concern has for not only myself, but everything I see happening. I find this ironic, because it's like some Canadians said, don't let your national patriotism dwindle once this begins to go away. That's exactly what we're doing, in my eyes. We're returning to normalcy effectively, but are we doing it almost too effectively? Not that we're unaffected, or indifferent even, but it's like we get so emotionally depleted from the media blitzing us with incessant coverage, that we get to a point where our mentality become, I don't even care to watch/see/read what happens anymore. I'm not saying I don't care. Of course I do, I care with all my being, but my interest no longer lies there, discussions on campus no longer revolve around these issues and what should/is be/being done to counter their measures, and the like. Our only interest now is Anthrax, and everyone with a sore throat in America has it. I'm just curious if you are seeing the lack of interest that I see, and feel.
