Though "our" US reporters show their desire for horrific and tragic stories as they report with frustration the lack of human debauchery in the wake of human suffering, there are several opinions why these reporters aren't getting the stories they desire - From culture, which is debatable just ask Koreans and Chinese who lived through the Japanese occupations of the past, to a one-for-all-all-for-one mentality. I found the below link had an interesting take and viewpoint on the topic.

...let me get this right - It is "solidarity" when liberals agree with the "cause" and a mob when they don't.
Tea Party demonstrators had no violence (though accused but never proven), no taxpayer went without services (i.e. fake sick calls), no calls for "blood in the streets" - Yet they were a mob...
Now we have liars faking sick call-in(s), politicians saying "sometimes you have to get bloody", and protesters issuing threats...and this is a good thing.
Guess I am a stupid southern boy, because that makes no sense to me - AND, I pray it never does!

American Thinker Blog: Fiscal responsibility is racist!
Thought I would mention, upon leaving the military I looked at "a public" job and was told "no matter if you have the highest, score the top 98 minorities would be hired before you are considered" - They were looking to hire 100 police officers. Wonder why the public sector has a higher number of african-american employees? ?
This is an interesting read of someone, from a pro-union family, changing their opinion of unions…
I now saw the union as a grand rip-off. The union working man wasn't some noble, virtuous saint, fighting the good fight against the Robber Barons, as I'd always been taught. He was a drunken, stoned, uneducated, vulgar slob, ripping off a piece of the action for himself.

Maybe a little economics 101 - Oil Companies have stockholders, possibly even you. The companies responsibility first is to the stockholders who invested in them, no not Billy Bob who they may have hired. ANY, increase in operational expense could cut what the INVESTORS get out of their investment...which could cause the stockholders to bolt putting the company in trouble and costing Billy Bob his job...
...so the easy fix is to pass this on to the consumer - SO don't blame the Oil Company for higher gas prices!

In truth then, what is being pursued is not any redefinition of marriage, but rather the "undefinition" of it -- an attempt to obliterate any fundamental parameters for what is to be perceived as moral and immoral sexual partnerships.

I am not so sure we, as a nation, should be encouraging the same as militant Islamic groups... Sure the "protesters" (Muslim Brotherhood) claim to be pro-democracy, but are they? We know that the Muslim Brotherhood had a militant wing which they claim has been closed... I am just saying, the nation, should be cautious in jumping on board as supportive based solely on a "pro-democracy" claim!
Islamic militants took to the Internet to call on Muslims to unite behind Egyptian protesters and not to 'waste the chance' to topple President Hosni Mubarak
