All the free prono mags i used to get................ That must be a dream job for Destiny
I question the general assumption that i am inherently deficient in the area of grammar and sentence structure

There’s a country where no one knows
What’s going on in the rest of the world
There’s a country where minds are closed
With just a few asking questions
Like what do their leaders say
In sessions behind closed doors
And if this is the perfect way
Why do we need these goddamn lies
This doesn’t go down too well
"we give you everything and you throw it back
Don’t like it here you can go to hell
You’re either with or against us . . ."
There’s a country that’s great and wide
It’s got the biggest of everything
Try to attack it and you can’t hide
Don’t say that you haven’t been warned
You can’t hide in a gunman’s mask
Or kill innocent folks and run
But if you’re good at it they might ask -
Come on over to the other side
There’s a country that’s tired of war
There’s a country that’s scared inside
But the bank is open and you can draw
For guns to fight in their backyard
I could go on but what’s the use
You can’t fight them with songs
But think of this as just
Another tiny blow against the empire
Another blow against the evil empire
Just another blow against the evil empire
Guess what country that'd be about .

Whilst the loss of innocent lives is always tragic, and not to down play those events in anyway, but you cannot really compare it to the death of a person, the first female leader of Britain btw, who had such a social, economic and cultural impact upon Britain, Europe and quite a few other parts of the world. Likelihood is that she will have had a much greater impact on my life, and possibly yours, than a very unfortunate collateral damage incident by a NATO plane.

It had a certain impact for their families ( if any member left for that matter ) and this is what matters. Also, the moment she cease to be pm of UK was end of her importance anyway, and nobody ever talked about her ever since ( well if we don't count that movie made about her ) so why people do care now?
And I am not mad at BBC, they are related to Britain afterall, but I am mad at our media, to me, innocent "children" killed and nobody give a fuck about it is a more important event for "humanity" than a dead liar politician ( well all of them liars so... ) also more important than what happened at last night's football match. People always cared about their kings and queens more than a peasant anyway, this was same thousands of years ago aswell, now today it is celebrities, people care about them more than the unjustice happening elsewhere.

You are somewhat missing the larger importance of the impact that leaders of a country have in everyday lives. They way in which she dealt with a huge range of issues and situations really has had a profound impact upon a huge amount of people. The impact being far greater than a collateral damage incident. You also have to understand that Current Affairs and "News" fundamentally functions on the ability for consumers/readers to have a collective experience and consciousness about the item in question. Football and recently deceased Prime Ministers tend to have a much wider appeal than military "incidents". Don't just blame "the media". We read it ...

Of course I am aware of the importance of a leader. But that importance only valid when they are still in power. Does anybody care about George Bush now ? Nobody does, but we will get a full coverage of him aswell when he dies despite he will have no importance whatsoever for the world when he dies.
I can understand the hype when Hugo Chavez died, he was still in charge of Venezuella when he died, despite it was awaited, hype was acceptable. And of course it will have a huge impact on world affairs if Obama dies when he is in charge. But when next president comes in, his importance will be no more. That is why we must focus more on justice and humanity related stuff, this is more than a military accident! It happened a couple times in a matter of a week!
