News

So I just had a thought. Yes, those do hit me once in a while. ...Wait, I lost it.

Oh, okay, here it is again: One reason I probably have so little to talk about is because I don't really read/watch anything that is considered "news." Sometimes news upsets me, sometimes it confuses me, and sometimes I have no reaction at all. So I avoid it. But I think some other bloggers maybe include certain bits of it into their blogs, am I right?

Well, if I'm wrong, more power to all bloggers everywhere! Woot! =D

I vaguely included news into my stump speech the other day. (NO MORE SPEECHES NOW! I'M FREEEEE!!!! ...For the semester, anyways. Hopefully for many years. It'd be great if I went my whole life and never gave another speech.) I decided the problem with news was the appalling shortage of good news. ELECT ME FOR PRESIDENT, AND I VOW TO ENSURE GOOD NEWS WILL BE SHOWN AT LEAST AS MUCH AS THE BAD!

...Yeah, the speech was basically a mock thing where everyone in my class was running for President of the U.S.A. My proposed solution to the lack of good news was make sure that, Mondays through Saturdays, there was a fifty-fifty mix of good and bad news. There was also the potential to make more good than bad. And on Sundays, only some emergency like 9-11 would be able to worm its way into our news. Otherwise, Sundays would be full of nothing but good news.

You like? Yay, then vote for me! ...Yes, yes, I know I just said it was a mock thing, don't ruin my fun. -_-
