CNN.com is featuring a video of a plane crash in Poland where two pilots died.

Folks this is wrong. We shouldn't be watching videos where planes crash and people die.

I don't want to get on a big diatribe about it but I will say this. We are doomed, as a species I mean, if this is news worthy material.

I am not a person who usually says we should pray about things, but I will certainly keep the families of those two pilots today.

I wish there was a way to globally boycott news when they do this.

On a not morally outraged note:

I took a free rowing lesson yesterday morning. It was about the most fun I think I have had in a while. I have been thinking about Oxford Blues for about two days non-stop. One of those classic 80's Americana movies. Something that is kind of interesting is that shortly after the movie came out--well within three years at any rate--there was a mutiny caused by some unpleasantries involving Americans on the Oxford Crew. For some strange reason I have read about this particular event a lot lately (I assume in part because this would be the 20th anniverary of the event. Long and short the Americans were given a bit of a bad wrap, they were spectacular oarsmen and when it came time to actually race a British Oarsman was taken from his preferred side of the boat to make way for a the President of the club; blah blah blah chaos ensued and the Oxford team beat Cambridge by making some pretty stunning, and illogical, decisions.

Back to the moral outrage.

I can't find Oxford Blues on DVD. Drats.
