A Sad Indictment

It is a sad indictment of our culture that the news of the arrest of Paris Hilton is getting more thought, attention, and comment than the news of Paul Wolfowitz's resignation as president of World Bank. Paris is inconsequential. Wolfowitz's resignation has tremendous implications for U.S foreign policy, the development of third world countries, the ending of extreme poverty, global political tensions, and on and on. It is hard to believe that most Americans don't even know who Paul Wolfowitz is. End of vent.
