They matter

I was going to write a post about how truly amazing the movie Dreamgirls is, but after wandering around the news-oriented sites, I've decided that something is way more important. Something so important that I don't really care about Hillary and her millions, Barak and his hype-machine, the press and their licking of politicans' boots. I don't care about who is divorcing, marrying, boffing, or having children with whom in Hollywood, or anywhere else for that matter. I don't care that the O.C. has been cancelled or that the Eagles won't be playing today. Something way more important has happened: We lost 25 of our soldiers in Iraq on Saturday. We have soldiers that get injured or die somewhere on this earth on a daily basis. That is the real stuff, what is important. They have families, lovers, children, friends, and others who care about them deeply and now there is a missing part in their lives. A piece that can be imitated, but never replaced for a sure fit.

Keep those people in your thoughts. Trust me, Brangelina is not worth our brain cells.
