Thats a good point Telcontar. People are so ignorant. They pick one notable thing to be mad about and never stop. 35,000 children die a day from malnutrition. But that's not glamerous or notable enough to be angry at. The worse part of all this is that people think that one terrorist represents the beleifs of all Arab people. I know this for a fact from listening people talking at my school. They barely know what the situation is and they choose to be mad at it. Its really sad when you think about it. How could people be so blind and arrogant and not even realize or care about it?<P>Truthfully, I got tired of hearing about 9/11 a week after it happened. The 24/7 news casts and everyone talking about it unintellegently (Lets nuke Afghanastan) made me decide to not care. Everyone else cared enough for me.<P>This seems very off topic. But I can relate this to Tolkien.<P>Some people in America are as ignorant/arrogant/blind as the Noldor when they attacked the Teleri. Does anyone agree?
