I will pop in here and read - I've valued so much of what is posted here since 2004.
But - with no true media serving the people (with truth), with no ability for actual analysis and awareness of root causes (and understanding that it all starts with what people are fed re news - because one of our faults is that people will believe what they hear, if it is repeated enough). This fact pretty much overrides any analysis I've seen carried out here and elsewhere.
So - what can be done? No real idea, but there is a life to be lived - the Christmas trip with my daughter and her family, quality time with my wife - it all reinforced that peace, kindness, family, decency - it is essential.
And so I will plan my garden, start my third book, plan my trips around the country, listen to great music and read great books - and live as good a life as I can, as best I can.
Because each day I look at news, editorials, listen to news (we don't watch TV) - and little to none of it makes sense...at least to my wife and I.
