Important things happening around the world

The Government is the master of deflection. They control when stories are released, when data dumps occur, and what stories are in the headlines. And, making their job easier, the American people suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder.

While we have been hanging on every word uttered by candidates, about candidates, and by the analysts, there are important things happening around the world. Syria is in crisis, tens of thousands are dead or fleeing. We are losing Syria just as we lost Libya. Russia is becoming dominant in the region. The president is considering changing the status of all future unoccupied, illegal immigrant children from Honduras to refugee before they leave their own country. For those who are already here, Harry Reid wants to give them free legal representation. While two of those "unaccompanied minor" in Massachusetts killed a man. The stock market is falling in large part because bank and oil stocks are tanking. The world economy is shaky. Iran and North Korea are advancing their nuclear capabilities, and flaunting it. So, go ahead and watch the debates because if we don't pay attention to the other stories, it won't matter one bit who gets elected. Mrs. Carolyn M. Brown
