You choose what you consume...
I'm not much in the mood to blog today. I might ... or might not ... explore today's topic from my Space Cadet's point of view ... but how to make universal today's angst over media? Personally I think "thou dost protest too much" applies.

I suggest anyone read Prosperous Snow celebrating 's reasoned response in "How To Prepare For A Crisis

I commented:

Thank you for a very rational response.

Although there's bias in the media there's bias everywhere ... so I look around at what we consume. I have a couple conspiracy theorist friends. There isn't a conspiracy they don't relish. It's what they consume ... constantly. The bias is within them, not the media.

I am prepared for minor crises but frankly I'm no 'survivalist'. I will depend on the kindness of others or perish. I believe in community.

I think this wisdom may have Jewish origins: I plan. God plans (with a shrug). Without an overarching spiritual view every crisis is the end-of-the-world. I do think that many folks should read Max Ehrmann's "Desiderata".
