Who is America trying harder to find Steve Fosset (a rich guy) or Osama Bin Laden (oh yeah, that guy )?

Question

It's amazing how much effort and money is put out for Fosset. The costs are already in the millions. If only America spent as much for the other thousands of missing people in the US. Is there really equality in the U.S. Will Steve Fossets family please pay all the people searching for him? Will the news media please give some coverage to regular Americans who are missing? Oh yeah, and what about trying to find Osama Bin Laden? How about a Google map of Afghanistan or Pakistan so we can look for him too?

There are lots of people who aren't being looked for and very little is spent on finding them.

Answer 1

Of course they are trying to find the rich guy! It's sick and backwards and wrong and everything else, but that's the way it is. The media would never do that, as it is not in their interest. 'The media' IS basically, the 'rich guy'. For real. Mass media in US = The rich. If they can distract us, the poor masses, from real stories, they will. They love it when we sit around talking about this kind of stuff at work or wherever. It keeps us distracted from what is really going on. If you want REAL news, check out the news show Democracy Now.

Answer 2

Maybe America is NOT trying to find Osama Bin Laden. He is always popping up at the right time when the support for Bush is dropping to the ground that one wonders .......after all the Bush family and the Bin Laden family are good business partners, according to Fahrenhet 9/11.

Answer 3

It would have been real easy to find Bin Laden when he was in custody during the Clinton Administration.

But CLINTON released him stating 'he is not a threat to America'.

I still believe we have spent a lot more time, energy, and resources searching for Bin Laden than we have Fosset.

Answer 4

I think they expect Steve Fosset to pay the rescuers BACK for their efforts- once they find him. While Bin Laden is more likely to shower us with heavy machine gun fire, & be not so willing to be rescued! It's the OLD story of- "follow the money"... :)

Answer 5

There's not enough effort being put forth to find Fosset. How do you know if there isn't a crime somewhere in his disappearance. How do you know it wasn't a shootdown? There are a lot of scenarios in that case. If they will ever be revealed, well, that's another thing.

The Bush administration doesn't want bin Laden found. Do the research.

Answer 6

There's nothing wrong with looking for Steve or the money spent to do so. They found the co-ed they were searching for (regular person). They never found Natalie (regular person people couldn't wait to stop hearing about).

A lot of private dollars go into these searches.

Answer 7

It's not my fault that my tax dollars are spent freely by my government that robs me of them. If I could choose, Benny Boy would be dead. That's why everybody's getting tired of the war and of Bush, he's not doing us any good.
Plus, I heard that there was a rumor that Ben laden paid bush off, and bush hid him somewhere....I don't know, but it does make me wonder why laden hasn't been found yet.... the most wanted man of all time to The United States Of America. Even his own people would have turned him over for the reward.
Good Luck!

Answer 8

Yeah because "America" has put the same effort and resource into both.

Way to spin a rant......

Answer 9

I hate to say it but Steve Fosset, but the goverment thinks we think otherwise...........Sad to say, but true



WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE WOULD STOPPED TURNING....THAT SEPTEMBER DAY 6 YEARS AGO

Answer 10

I wish they would spend a couple of bucks finding me a girlfriend.
