The Aerie
Randy Moss goofing around in the end-zone last weekend is not a sign that our culture is collapsing. The fact that our local news and press spent much more time covering the actions of this capering nitwit than they did covering the death in Iraq of Dwayne Bellanger McFarlane, THAT'S the sign that our culture is collapsing.
A Fire Support Specialist in the 15th Artillery's 10th Mountain Division, McFarlane's story was very common. Raised by his uncle on the Red Lake Indian Reservation, McFarlane joined the Army in the hopes of getting money for college. Instead he is dead. Coverage of his death is actively suppressed by our government, which doesn't want the public to see his coffin arrive, or his grieving family. And the local infotainment industry is complicit by deciding to promote coverage of a dancing fool over the real news of a soldier's death.
What astonishing national complacency.
