From the responses I have received, I believe most see the point without me making it some kind of poll vote. What we have is a few radicals looking for a easy way to destroy and get a headline. Put the blame where it really belongs, the media. The want headlines and though not actually asking people to riot, loot, destroy and injure others, they always start with, "We hope this don't happen again like it did in "another place", which means to me, if you want the headlines, cause these problems. Time the government and the people started reigning in the media and insist, though there is freedom of the press, that they not be allow to provide or imply there is reason for trouble. By doing so they insight more trouble just to have a Frontpage story.

In all due respect the blame lies with the people who choose to loot and burn. Transferring the blame to others is simply telling the guilty that their behavior is okay.

IT IS NOT OKAY.

The media makes it worse in my opinion, but in all reality, it is the people that are the real problem. They all want to be part of something, and often in today's world you have to go to extremes to get noticed. Everyone, whether they admit to it or not! Wants to be important. It's human nature to want to be part of something. I just believe the American people often go about it the wrong way because they fail to see the choices laid out in front of them. The American people just need a leader. Not an extremist.

I am not going to argue with anyone about what part I think the media plays in creating problems or making an existing problem worse. Everyone has their own opinion and I will accept that without mincing words, statements, or arguments. I stand my my opinion and you have the right to stand by yours.
