Dru Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I can sum it up in a short phrase: In America all news is local, because no one wants to hear about places or things they don't already know about .

Peter_Puget Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I read something once describing the impact of contractions in the US on lessd eveloped countries. The sad fact is that even small contraction in the US economy do have significant impacts on lives elsewhwere. If Katrina was to trigger a large contraction people will die in other countries merely because of reduced US economic activity. Sorry to bring realism into the thread.....

ivan Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 1 American = 1 European = 100 brown people well, the average american weighs about as much as 100 brown people! what the hell's so unusual about people thinking that shit that's happening in their community is more important than what's happened anywhere else? seems like human nature to me...
