So I am walking to work this AM, and listening to Nikonians podcast, trying to ignore my runny nose (if there is one thing I hate about cold, its runny noses), whom are talking about one of their recent trips to the Galapagos. And all I could really think about it how great its going to be to explore the world thru B/C’s eyes. I really can’t wait, and really have to start saving, because I want to go to Beijing, Masa Mara, London, the Galapagos with B/C and Shannon. Not to mention the Cabin. I want to see minds explode with fascination. I really hope that B/C shares that want. I never really wanted to travel when I was growing, then I took a trip to see my cousin Wendy in London, and all I could think about is travel for a while, although never really got into actually doing it until OpSmile, another blessing it has bestowed on me.

On another note, yesterday some ignoramus decided to publish that Prince Henry was actually serving in Afghanistan. They thought, well this is news we need to tell the world, didn’t think twice about how it actually effects people. Now the Prince, along with is platoon have targets on their heads, more so than they did before. The media gave the enemy, effectively, a high powered night vision scope, in the name of free press. I do not believe in censorship, but I highly believe in self-censorship. Think before you print. Does this story have to go out now? Today’s media is much more concerned in the profit instead of the story. That, my friend, is not journalism, it is selfishness. Journalist, do not care about reporting anymore, its solely about lining there pockets and editorializing the story. News is supposed to be unbiased, and today it ALL very biased, and really very little should be covered under freedom of the press. Those laws were written to protect reporters not editorialists. When I started writing today, I was thinking of how great the main stream media was about keeping their promise to the UK, knowing that he was there, but keeping the secret. But then I thought the second the story broke they all jumped on it, they still should have waited until they could say that he was safely away. If not for his safety, for the safety of his platoon.
