News that shouldn't be news

News heading that I notice today:

"Kids were found shooting at a teacher in a local high school"
"Kids attach janitor after the were caught vandalizing the school. Now janitors request security."
"US is tentatively suggest that they pull out of Iraq in 2011. Government in Iraq want it to be definite."
"We are seeing reverse illegal immigration going back home. This is according to an interview with an illegal alien"

These headings trouble me. I been on this earth for some time now and I've always enjoyed observing my surroundings. I think my mind tend to always just track. No very scientific or anything, but it just measure the difference between the before and after. But it seems like ever since I been out of school I've noticed that there is a continuous drive to be more liberal. In school we were taught about change and how we should embrass it. Somehow liberal represent being American, the freedom, the advancement of civil rights, or even just go as far as being more advance society. Yet as I can remember it, people and many of them liberals, continue to complain how things has gone bad and we need to improve. Yet if you really look at it, what drove all of us and especially our ancestors, it is the conservative nature that brought us to this land. The discipline, the control, and the limited chaos is what drove many of the opportunities that were offered to live the dream. Yes like freedom it self, these opportunities are not free, but it comes with a price. Often the price that we do not want to see or admit. I think what many people does not realize is that life is about stratification. I will comment on this later. But maybe now it is a time where we start saying 'No' instead of trying to keep saying 'Yes'. That 'Yes' should not be back by our lame and irresponsible use of the word protection of our freedom, advancement of our society, and the right for change as Americans. Has anyone ever stop and wonder if any of the changes are what got us here? You can continue to change but from my experience I have seen change that made things worse. I've also seen people try to cover what really needs to be done by have that 'change' to occur so that it can cover the root cause of the issue.
