Get A Life

I swore I wasn't going to even acknowledge the Casey Anthony ordeal.  After reading so many Facebook posts, I can't take it anymore.  Get a life, people.  On July 4th, we celebrated this country's independence and everyone was so proud to be an American.  On July 5th, verdict in the trial was reached.  All of a sudden, people were distraught over the unfairness of the outcome.  This country, which you claim to be so proud of, was founded on the basis of theUnited States Constitution.  Perhaps all of you throwing tantrums should actually educate yourselves on the Sixth Amendment to the United States Bill of Rights.  The jury did exactly as they were told, providing an impartial judgment in the case based on the evidence presented.  So, for all of you proud-to-be-Americans-when-things-go-my-way-bandwagoners, suck it.  Try reading.  Be proud of America and all it stands for all the time, not just when it's convenient.  If you don't like it, leave.  I hear France is looking for a few good people.

While on the subject of bandwagons and Caylee Anthony...Let's stop the nonsense of petitions to stop moms from killing their kids.  Let's stop leaving on our porch lights in honor of Caylee.  If it really means that much to you, why don't you actually volunteer time to children in need, try mentoring, or look into a Guardian Ad Litem program in your community.  Do something that makes a difference to a living child.  Do something that actually doesn't make you look like a stereotypical "stupid American" (in the words of my former French teacher).  If as many people cared about the living children being bounced from foster family to foster family as cared about this media-bloated Anthony case, fewer children would be dying.  Believe me, there are living children in your community that need a voice, not the dead ones.  Get real and get your priorities straight.

And on a totally unrelated subject-I am proud to be an American.  I, however, am so happy that tomorrow is the last freakin' shuttle launch into space.  Maybe we can use those funds from NASA to build a 9/11-Caylee Anthony-Oklahoma City-Katrina-flood-tornado memorial on the former grounds of the World Trade Center.  We have no business in space.
