"The truth I think is that we allow ourselves to get shocked and then pushed into having discussions about how offended we are by something like a cover photo and article rather than digest the details of the article. We’d rather be hurt and offended by an image than be hurt and offended by the fact that our collective apathy and disengagement from our political process allowed very rich, very powerful men to traipse all over the globe for the last few decades, toppling governments and starting wars of choice whenever we got the itch. We’d rather wrestle with the “appropriateness” of a story and a photograph than the “appropriateness” of dropping bombs from drones that are only going to further encourage more young men to self-radicalize." - See more at: politicalgarbagechute/if-you-give-a-shit-about-this-you-are-america-ing-wrong/#sthash.00rZb7JK.dpuf
