The Debates- 2012

A FB friend just posted this status:

Really,with all the crap going on in the country you people are focused on Big Bird? How many of you have actually donated to PBS? Sad, sad, sad.

She's right. Our fire and police forces are shrinking. There's so much corrupt activity in our governments. Detroit is falling apart second by second. People are losing their jobs. Soldiers are losing their lives. People are going broke trying to pay for healthcare and people are dying who can't afford healthcare.

And the country is worried about Sesame Street. I'm a fan of PBS. A Phi Mu is/was the President. I loved Sesame Street growing up and I like the concerts they show. No, I have never donated (I won't get into that). But the fact is, it's a cost that can be cut. If there are enough people in the country who really care that it's on the air, they'll donate. Hell there are enough celebrities making MILLIONS firing off about it. Why don't they donate enough to keep it afloat without government help? I don't know how much money it takes to keep PBS around, but I'm sure that money can be used elsewhere to help mankind.

That's just my rant on that topic. I understand that it adds to the "evilness" of Romney and it's somewhat symbolic on his stances, but come on. Fight and preach about something more important. Big Bird will find another way to live on. The person living under the overpass on I-75 because he lost his job and is too old or inexperienced to find another one won't.
