deep sigh


Another day.......

We have branched out today , and CNN has been on as background noise all rainy day long, and they are wall to wall with the horribly sad story out of New Jersey.
Rutgers University student, Tyler Clementi, drove his car to the George Washington bridge, which leads into Manhattan, got out of his car and jumped off. His body was just pulled from the river. 

The background of all this is, his dorm room mate set up a webcam in their shared room, and broadcast Mr. Clementi having sex with a man.  Pig of a room mate. CNN and most all of the m.s.m. is ranting and raving about CYBER BULLYING. ( linking it with Michigan story that we will get into later on ) Yeah, it was... I guess, misuse of the internet for sure.


BUT, they are missing the point.



Had the pig of the room mate broadcast Mr. Clementi going at it with some hot cheerleader type it would have been a laugh at the frat house and whoops and hollars all around. He wasn't. He is gay, he was with another man. And we don't know who knew he was gay, and who didn't. This is a story about the horrors and pain of living in the closet, not just internet bullying. Shinning a light on this problem is a good thing, not digging deep enough into the story is not. 


Sad all around, but not as black and white as it seems.
