The public wants to hear the latest and greatest news and that is what sells. But I agree, there should be some follow up to keep important things in peoples minds. Now to answer the question. No, those of us with a reasonable amount of intelligence have not forgotten about the important things.
For the recovery to take place in 2010,unemployment will have to drop, consumer confidence will have to increase, and housing sales will have to pick up. I do not see all three of these things happening, therefore, I predict that the recession will last through 2011.
The Confederate Flag is not protected by law. The US Flag is protected by law. The Confederate flag is flown in the south from Confederate statues and displayed on trucks and on graves. The NAACP would like to ban it from any public building or property, including monuments and statues. It is presently being flown beside a statue on the state house grounds at the capital in Columbia. They are boycotting the State of South Carolina until it is removed. I think that as long as it is not displayed on the capiton itself, there should be no problem. It is a strong part of South Carolina's heritage and history.
