Waiting on the World to Change...

I was watching a marathon on MTV of So You Think You Can Dance and I was struck by one particular episode. I believe it was the top 8 show where all the dancers performed a solo. This time everyone did the same routine, choreographed by Wade Robson (brilliant). It was deemed "ANTI-WAR" and apparently there was this outrage about it. People complained. Figures. All I have to say to those people who complained is that you need to get off your right-winged soap box and open your eyes. I am tired of people attacking those who are against the war or those who SUPPORT PEACE- claiming that they don't support the troops. It's not about that. It's about bringing our men and women home. It's about the men and the women and the innocent bystanders who have died and for what? To Win? (As our president says. Winning is the most important thing) The message they are sending - or that I am sending - is not that of anti-war.
It's a message of Hope.
A message of Peace.
We want our troops home safe.

And then with that said. The next night they had to "apologize" for the dances. I was almost outraged that they apologized. For one, if you don't like what's on the tv change the channel. Simple as that. If I see something on tv that I don't agree with or that I don't like I change the channel. This is why I don't watch Fox news. Because I don't agree with them. You don't see me sending them complaints about their opinions. Which leads to the second reason why i think the apology was apalling. Let's say I don't agree with you - that doesn't mean you are not allowed to express yourself. No apologies needed. It made me sad that they did that. It took away from the effect it had. Everything they stood for in that episode was wiped away. Sad. I thought it was powerful, moving and it brought tears to my eyes when some of them danced it.

Ok that is all.
