Missing Man Against Nature

Not too long ago, there was some uproar in the blogosphere about the incessant news coverage on the mainstream media about a girl murdered in Aruba, or the Runaway Bride, or so on. All white and seemingly innocent women.

Now there seems to be a new theme, the Missing Man Against Nature. A couple weeks ago, there was a vigil for James Kim, who got lost in a snowstorm in Oregon. Now, the missing man was Kelly James, who got caught in bad weather on Mount Hood, also in Oregon. The third factor here is the weather. It played a part in both situations. Of course, all these events are tragedies for the families involved. But in the grander scheme of things, the MSM (mainstream media) devote too much airtime to this when other more relevant events are not covered as much.

The Missing Man Against Nature theme is serving some underlying message. I can't think of an obvious one right now (suggestions welcome), other than the strange similarity of the names James Kim & Kelly James. But my hunch is that there will be other news to add to this theme.

Stay Tuned...
