1. I wonder if the media thinks we are so simple minded.
Elizabeth Edwards dies, so Elizabeth Smart is back in the news. Bernie Sanders takes a stand, so Bernie Madoff is back in the news. Do they really think we are so stupid.

2. I don't understand. You mean he didn't kill himself?
Sorry, I'm clearly not up to speed.

3. These wealthy privileged people will do that over loosing it all.
It kind of shows you what they think of working class people earning an honest living. Many of them are taught to believe that working for a living is beneath them. Being faced with having to actually work hard for their money is such a trauma that they would rather die. Not that that's a bad thing. We can easily afford to lose a whole bunch of trust fund babies.
I know a local family who's dad took them under. Mismanaged the business. No more big house or country club membership. Both the mother and daughter killed themselves. Both good looking women that could have moved on and done real well too. They couldn't settle for anything less than the standard of living they were accustomed to.

7. The implication is that "keyword hijacking" is going on
Edited on Sat Dec-11-10 12:06 PM by crikkett
The purpose of keyword hijacking is to distract searchers, meaning you and me, from finding, learning, or retaining information that is damaging to {someone's} agenda. {Someone} does this by promoting stories with similar keywords that support {someone's} agenda.
