The United States has a huge number of people who chose Rush Limbaugh as their education/ news service for close to a couple of decades. These people lost sight of the big picture. Pathological non-response to the suffering of another is understood by those who stayed away from corporate media, Rush Limpbaugh, Ann Coultergeist, Evangelical preacher hoes, and the message of pimped right wing neo con republicon politicians.

The United States needs healing but outside forces may not give it the recovery time needed to maintain its past dominance in the globalization of social economics. Still it must recover. A nation strung out from neo con socioeconomic meth use must go through recovery first if it is to provide any posterity for its citizenry.

thgdriver , good point on D-Day. But you need to realize, CBS isn''t just apathetic about the military, they HATE the military. Also, there are many more critical stories, such as what Obama had for breakfast, the color of Hillary''s shoes, and how whitey is keeping the poor black man "down".

That is very true unless you are trained not to move the person but there was no excuse for the people not making a human chain to block traffic around the guy get some cars to stop to block that portion of the road. It looked like a very short time before a police car came and you can bet EMT''s were on the way by that time. Cameras dont lie and they will find those cars involved after they inhance the images

years ago I believe in New York City a woman was stabbed to death by a man and people watched and did nothing. She wasn''t dead as she reached her door in the early morning and the killer returned and finished the job. When asked by witnesses why they did nothing most said that it wasn''t their business or they didn''t want to get involved. I see that even today that in some cases that sad standard still takes place.

These were all poor black people looking at a dying white man. And you expected them to call on their phones? What phones? Only phone access they have is the corner pay-phone, and only numbers they know are the welfare office and Jerry''s rib shack. How could you expect them to remember a number as long and as complex as "911"? I mean, c''mon people!

Did you know today is the 64th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy?

You can''t find one word about it at CBS. It''s sad they decided to ignore the fact.

God bless the soldiers who fought and died in the largest land invasion in human history. Their efforts and sacrifice helped keep our first amendment in place.

Just ask Richard Jewel what he would do. He got involved in Atlanta and the authorities blamed everything on him.
