Everybody is entitled to MY opinion ;)

I got a few notes telling me that they felt bad that I was so sad from reading my notes. Am I sounding sad??? I am actually extremely happy to be able to come back to the US and be here with my family. I am trying to make my family work and my son certainly makes me feel loved and appreciated. I have yet to be affected by the fact that I will need to find work in a very serious recession, but with a bit of a safety net, I am being allowed this luxury of time with my son...kind of the point of my previous note I think. But yes, I am very happy to be home.
If only the world were this simple again...

But given the happenings around the world, I am also sad. My current status says a lot about what I am thinking... "Riots, racial inequity, ignorant masses, govt restricting information, hundreds of deaths and most people can only talk about the Pop King?" I mean come on... one death versus hundreds, and under such tragic circumstances. Sure sure, MJ was the king of Pop and he will forever be immortalized by his music. Ah the power of the media as another Michael said to me...

Riots, race riots, in China, and possibly, and in my mind, probably, incited by actions of politically motivated parties outside of China who do not need to bear the price of their actions. Sad, really sad
