The tv news programs should drop their current titles in deference to reality: <i>"The (network of your choice) Salacious Events of the Day".</i><br />So we all have to drop the illusion that news sources (tv, internet, newspapers, weekly mags) deliver 'news'. They deliver what will boost revenues. Besides Rupert Murdoch will own every paper, radio and tv outlet before too long as the FCC has all the power of a toothless Garfield on valium.<br />I agree that Obama is at his best when he speaks from the heart, but as I watched his speech last night I wondered "Does he ever speak from the heart anymore or is every word he says scripted by speech writers"?<br />As for civil discourse....it's tough to find these days at all levels. What should be our primary example, our elected leaders, abandoned civil discourse about 20 years ago. They continue to talk the talk, but the walkway is littered with bodies from all parties.<br />As you can tell, this event has raised the bar on my level of cynicism. I do feel empathy for those injured or killed in this attack and their families. The surprise factor, however, escapes me. Given all the events and attitudes exhibited throughout the world and watching the slow demise of our false economy, more and more people will reach their breaking point in the years to come. The one shred of hope I keep is that these folks find ways to calm their fears and frustrations in a non-violent manner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-78090342774622570102011-01-13T16:01:29.235-05:002011-01-13T16:01:29.235-05:00Your words reflect what's in my heart.
