There was a report on the local morning news show about how the SF Bay Area Food Banks are running out of food. I'm sure they did it for dramatic purposes, but the news camera man showed the empty shelves at the Food Bank in San Mateo.

I felt bad. The reason for the empty shelves, the reporter went on, was because the food banks have had to feed more people. One client also remarked that the food boxes were getting smaller and smaller, because there's just not enough food to go around.

This is the kind of stuff that makes a Sunday morning news show that nobody watches, and doesn't make the 6 pm news. There are more and more people in the SF Bay Area who are jobless and can't afford to feed themselves.

These are the issues that the local news commentators should be focusing on, and not on Governor Terminator or Michael Jackson.

It is a crime, in every sense of the word crime, that there are starving people in this very affluent part of the world and no cares enough to report on it very much.

I decided that everytime I go to the store, I'll buy extra cans of food and put the stuff in the food barrels. You know it's a sad sad world when people's basic needs like food are not being taken care of.

There's a definite kind of anger out there, that says government and politicians are not taking care of people's basic needs. It's why someone like Arnie was elected to lead the world's 5th largest economy, because if local politicians are more focused on ideologies instead of luring businesses to the state and the community so they can hire more people, maybe a Hollywood action hero can get the job done.

He does it in the movies, after all. And since most people are so removed from the political ideologies, what's the difference between the movies and politics. It's all the same, isn't it? A fantasy world that the common person doesn't inhabit or exist in.

At least in the movies, the action hero always wins and doesn't get beaten down by nonsensical political rhetoric and government beaurocracy.
