Yesterday on my way to work my mother was listening to NPR on the radio. I usually don't have a problem with NPR but yesterday's topic worked every nerve in my entire body. No, they weren't talking about the debt crisis, or public education, or the war, or the economy, or any of the other millions of issues America is facing right now...they were discussing Marc Anthony and JLo getting divorced! o__O
Say What?!?!?!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen the topic was the divorce of an entertainment couple! I have always wondered why the world makes these personal/private issues their business! Now, I understand that once you move into that realm a majority of your life becomes public (a reason why I don't think I could ever be about that life!) If JLO and Anthony decided amongst the two of them that marriage was not working for them then that should be between them. The women on the radio were first in shock that they even decided to get divorced (which is funny given the divorce rate in America 0__0) and second couldn't understand how they could have ended their issues amicably! Really you would much rather them end up throwing bows in the end!? They even ended it by saying don't worry it will probably come out that Anthony had a mistress! Really? That's what you're hoping for? Not once did they discuss their children since they were sooooo concerned about them divorcing! Shouldn't that have been your main concern.
I just don't understand Americans. We spend so much time focusing on the negative! That don't have NPR conversations about the couples that have been married forever (maybe you should talk to them and give the rest of America some hints!!) I personally feel that issues like this should be private but if they have to be public can also get some insight from the other side of the spectrum. Let me hear about some positive issues!
