Yesterday morning, I saw that Cronulla was a top Technorati search. I followed the link and read about the riots in Sydney. I read a bunch of the news articles and a lot of blog entries about the riots. I added comments to various blogs and talked with my wife about how the riots were not showing up in the U.S. news.

Today, the riots are the top World News story on Google and it is showing up on CNN. I’m not sure why this has jumped out to me the way it has. It seems as if it has something with increased intolerance and lack of civility in our society today.
