What Makes Americans Angry?
August 7th, 2007
Recently I read this quote:
“There is no anger that comes close to the anger of an American that cannot get television.” Quoted by Sen. Clare McCaskill, D-Mo, at a hearing on the impending implementation of digital signals for televisions.
Really? This is what makes Americans more angry than anything else? Was she serious or trying to be funny?
I contrast this with the last presentation I did on modern slavery. When I finished I approached a friend of mine, whose eyebrows were quite low, and asked, “Are you o.k?” “No, I’m pissed,” was the reply. Spoken like a true Christian. He went on to state that God was angry too. Absolutely. . .
What should make Americans angry?
No t.v.?
27 million slaves in the world?

Especially considering the bulk of those are children, and the bulk of those are sex slaves.

i’m reminded of a line from the movie “hotel rwanda”. when the reporter said that the world will probably see the massacre on t.v. and say, “oh, isn’t that horrible” and then return to eating their supper. i’m sorry to say that this senator is probably right.
