"ANTI-AFFLECK PETITIONS"

8/30/13 The News-Dispatch & 8/26/13 The Herald-Argus

It's no wonder how while we have been increasingly distracted by the trivial - via the internet, tv, gaming, smartphones, etc. - that real life villains have gained the upper hand - economically, politically, and socially. We're increasingly just too distracted to care or act, when there's simply so many diversions to take in.
