Ty Pennington in Peru - Part II

Okay. I finally got around to reading yesterday's newspaper and I can see why some folk are a bit upset about the Extreme Home Makeover video request that myself and about a hundred other people participated in on Monday.

The Wednesday article, which in the Tuesday edition was promised to be the complete story about the video, turned out to be something less than complete. The article went something like this:

"Circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus."

"Circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, Grants."

Yeah, that is a bit disturbing. But I stand by what I said before - at least we were DOING SOMETHING, not just sitting around whining and complaining like so many others were.

Then today's paper hit the stands.

The headline on the front page says that the circus video includes the Grant family. The article (finally) delivers the whole story, or most of it anyway. Thank you! Now all of the do-nothing whiners and complainers can see that they opened their traps a bit too soon.

Again today I've been listening to people talk. No one is talking about the video today. No one is apologizing for jumping to the wrong conclusions either. Their thought process must be "If we just sweep our words under the rug and pretend we didn't say them, I bet no one will even notice that we said anything in the first place."

Ha! Yeah right!

I wonder what our do-nothings are going to find to gripe about today, since even they can see that the video organizers and participants are in a bash-free zone?

After all the controversy and nonsense, I just hope that something positive ends up as a result of all this.
