Given that there is more coverage about Tiger Woods at the masters than the riots in Krygystan or the worst peacetime political disaster in history makes me question how horrifically blind Americans are.

Things like this make me awfully embarrassed to be called an American.

But I do take nice strolls and think a lot - I do it for exercise with my fiancee.

I agree. I wish they would just drop this Tiger Woods thing already, we know what he did, why do we need to hear about it every day? The general public knows nothing about what is going on in the world. Even the World News is a joke now adays, we only care about Hollywood Stars and athletes, it seems.

Yes, if you open up your eyes to nature you will see it is a beautiful place. I feel sorry for those of you who will live in a major city their whole life, being surrounded by buildings and all. At least New York has Central Park though.

The bolded reasons speak a lot about the world, people would rather live in a fantasy land than know whats going on. I mean how many Americans know about the issuses in Mexico right now? I have spoken to MANY people are they are oblivous to it. If only people would pay more attention and know the world is in a lot of trouble if we don't shape up and wake up.
