As this post shows, America obviously values her entertainment way more than her protection. Many people are going out of their homes and comfort zones and risking their lives to protect us; and they're not paid nearly as much as someone who walks up onto a stage and makes us laugh, or someone who walks out into a field to entertain us; or even someone to stand up on a stage to sing and entertain us. It's really sad; but the facts are as clear as day: America values the jobs of their entertainers far more than that of those who work hard to protect her. And I'm sure every one of you could at least look at one of the first pictures I posted and be able to recognize the person. Yet how many of you recognized the cop or the army guy?

There's not much you can do about this; and this is not  a message saying that you should change. I guess I just wanted to give you something to think about when you sit on the couch with a bowl of chips, while watching expensive entertainment.
