Who cares?

We want to write in this Column about Things that use, abuse and irritate our Minds.  For those who want to and those who care about such Things, of course.  And we invite, actually want both critical and vigorous Agreement and Dissent from all of you, because we value the Opinion of everyone who reads or glances at this Column.

The Subjects that capture our Attention are those which appear in the News and which, we believe, are likely to have a short or long Term Effect on our Lives and the Lives of those around us.

It stands to Reason that, due to obvious Limits, not all Subjects which could be addressed are.  They simply cannot be.  And, although the Subjects chosen for Discussion are chosen on the Basis of some Modecum of Importance, we want to emphasize, there is no particular Effort to assign a Ranking Order.

Still, one must ignore, dismiss, many Subjects which deserve some Discussion and, sadly (fortunately?), many, many more which do not deserve either Discussion or Attention, in our Opinion.  Of those which do not, it sometimes makes us wonder, just how some Things even rise to the Level of meriting Attention from the News Wires.

Today, one such Example just fleetingly paraded across.

http://todayentertainment.today.com/_news/2012/11/10/15075019-justin-bieber-and-selena-gomez-break-up-source-says?lite

Folks, who cares, who should really even care what Justin Bieber does?  Who cares who Selena Gomez even is?  Why are these People important and why should they even be annointed with a Modecum of Importance?  What Effect has what they do or do not do in Bed, or outside of their Bedrooms on your Lives?  Don't we have more important Things to do?  Are you better off today than you were 4 Days ago, 4 Months ago or 4 Years ago, as a former President formulated the Question a few short Decades ago and just how does Justin Bieber and whoever his Girlfriend/Sexual Partner might be, past, current or present have anything to do with it?

Let us concentrate on the Issues which need our Attention, Understanding and Action and let Justin Bieber Distractions and the Like to just fend for themselves.  They are not Part of the 99% nor do they have any Intention to become Part of it anytime soon.

Cordially,
