The media sets me off because while the nation can cover the trial of Amanda Knox, and more or less take a national stance on the innocence this person, the nation more or less ignored Troy Davis until just days before his execution. The media's coverage of the Amanda Knox trial was ridiculously slanted in hopes of swaying international news in thinking that she's innocent (I'm not saying she was or wasn't) but they more or less ignored Troy Davis. Why is it that when a black man goes to jail or is executed it's fine but if a white woman goes to jail it is an international tragedy?
The world sets me off Chimer because this is a world of lies.

And if you’re alive in America, please don’t come to Georgia. Don’t come to Georgia. Don’t buy any Georgia pecans. Don’t buy any Georgia peaches. Don’t buy any trade with Georgia. The whole world, don’t buy anything with Georgia. God bless America. God bless Troy Davis.
