Elroy,
the world is sick in too many ways...

You never hear anything about 1500000 children slaughtered every year in the US either...

Likes like Terri Schiavo may live another day...

Congress is going to subpoena Terri to testify.....

>>>> Does it ever come up on the TV talking heads discussions that if "Lacy" were a black single mother perhaps murdered by her unemployed black boyfriend "Scott" (but perhaps not, the body is missing at the moment) that it would never get the thousands of hours of airtime that Scott and Lacy have received?

Why would you think there is a racial component?

I see no evidence that race enters into it in any way, shape or form.

Why is the Lacy and Scott thing on the television??

Peterson and his wife were very photogenic. Fox particularly like the story and ran with it. Greta on Fox would have daily sessions with 4 attorneys trying to determine Peterson's fate. It was a joke and a waste of time.
