I guess triviality is a matter of perspective...

Just wanted to direct your attention to this article:

...Too much attention on triviality distracts us from critical decisions...

so:

2% of a disgusting spending bill is 'triviality'

1/10 of a percent of a bailout is cause for outrage...

hmmm.
I know I'm poking fun here. Some may say there's an obvious difference...

I say there's no difference at all: Squandering 2% of a sum acquired by generational theft from American citizens is just as outrageous to me as 1/10 of a percent of a different sum acquired by generational theft from American citizens. Because, you see, it's all 100% disgusting, 100% criminal, 100% outrageous.

UPDATE: Guess I'm not the only one who notices the Outrage discrepancy. Deeper detail there, too.
