Our country is a great example. It is going to pots, we know it, are helpless to do anything about it ...."Oh, you can vote them out" is BS .... there is nothing I can do, just good political rhetoric, supposed to make me feel good that I can change it all. Who started news, and better yet, why.
Ogee, the caveman, worried about food, how to feed his family, perhaps shelter, he occasionally heard drums, coming from Hango, but they were just sounds. It was probably just Rango who had too much of that fermented grape juice they found.
I really am no different than Ogee. One good example of wasted time, we occasionally sit and watch TV, a show of "What is happening in Columbus, Ohio." We haven't been to Columbus in a long time, and the only time we have gone there in the last twenty years was to go to their hospital. WHY do we sit and watch something like that .... ?
Things, I don't care how insignificant or monumental, are going to happen whether I, We, know about them or not. Earthquakes, like the one in California, saw photos of the devastation, had in the back of my mind, the earth, coming apart, and all of us flying out into space. Did I really need to know about the earthquakes.
The shootings, all of them, do I really need to know each little detail of what happened? We used to sit around the old Philco radio, and listen to Peter Grant from WLW in Cincinnati. 99.9 percent of the news I have nothing to do with. Much like the weather ... some stations now have four or five "Weathermen" to keep us updated on bad weather. When bad weather hits, the TV is the first thing to go out. I can wee it is important to farmers and some others, but little I can do .... maybe take an umbrella.
So, if you get upset by news, like I do, do like you did when you were a kid, don't listen or now don't watch it, little to nothing you can do about it anyway. My life is too short to worry about three million Syrians roaming around in the desert ....
"Oh, hey, all you guys over there, yeah, all three millions of you, come on over to my place here in Newark, Ohio, I'll feed and take care of you. Wait till next week though, OK, I get my SS check then."
Why do we have news, because it NOW is a gigantic industry, thousands, maybe a million people are involved with getting you up to date news, most of which, does not concern you in any way and there is absolutely NOTHING you can do about. Be Informed. Why?
