Who cares if he said something bad about America?
Does it really matter?
I think America is hype.
We constantly scream liberty, yet ignore much of our Bill of Rights.
Obama is the perfect president for our nation.
All hype for a hype nation.
(and before you say he isn’t, I know a great deal of people who voted for him just because he was black. Not because of the issues. Because he was black. Race is no reason to elect a president.)

I think Marc Tarrasch’s comments were correct. Why does Depp insult his home country, live in France, and make movies in America? It’s because of the money. He doesn’t make French movies not because they are artistically lacking or not bad homosexual films, it’s because they don’t make nearly as much money as American movies do. This also ties into his apology. It wasn’t sincere for the reasons Edelman, the blogger, claimed; Edelman said it was real because Depp doesn’t care about popularity nor cash, but he does, as his actions I described earlier demonstrate. Incidentally, his apology was very slippery and he never actually retracted his statements. He called them “insanely twisted” and “out of context,” but he never actually took them back, even if he did praise America in them.

Trackbacks – a benefit and a curse

I have decided to start using the trackback feature of my blog. Why? Well, there are several reasons to this theory.

The feature is built in. No escaping it, so why not use it?
Trackbacks are great for your Technorati rating. Plus, if you are like me,…

when you love your country you can also criticize her, that’s what is so great about america.i wish depp hadn’t hapologized about his remarks. i would have respected him more, because what he said is the truth. america does think everything she does is just great, and we could use a dose of humility. now that things have gone so poorly for everyone in the middle east, maybe we can stop thinking we should run the world.

I did intend to mention Technorati here somewhere, Jose, but guess I forgot. It’s a pretty good start, and I too check it several times a day. Although one would think that they could do a little better job with such a highly structured medium (i.e. blogs).

We’ve got a limited version of that now with Technorati. I check it everyday and every time someone links to something on Meme Therapy I follow their link backwards to see what they’re saying. I’m almost certain that certain bloggers link to me partly by way of invitation as they know I’ll follow the link back and leave a bunch of comments (and probably a link back in an article’s related section). It’s mightily cool but it could go much further.

Like you I can’t wait.
