An Open Letter to Amtrak From a Tweeter

Tweet

Hey, Amtrak, Isn't it bad enough that you run your stupid system on my tax money? Now you have to go and have a wreck -- I'm sorry, "incident" -- while The Price Is Right is on! CBS had interrupted my show to keep telling me about it. Would you please schedule your next wreck/incident outside of the broadcast time for The Price Is Right???? Sincerely, A Tweeter ------------------------------------------------------- Yes, that's sarcasm. And yes, I actually did see a tweet this morning from someone who was raising holy heck because CBS had pre-empted The Price Is Right to report on the train derailment near Seattle. Let's see....The Price Is Right was taped weeks ago. People are dead because of the wreck. That's one bad thing about social media: the inconsiderate self-centered arrogance of people who are inconvenienced by tragedies is put out there for all to see. My prayers, concerns, and condolences for those have loved ones affected by this. And, truthfully, I also have prayers and condolences to offer for someone who cares more about a stupid game show than the lives of human beings.
