Weird Stick

So, I sat down and wrote a long piece this morning about what is happening in the world. But then I thought about it for a while and decided that I was full of shit and talking out of my ass.

There is a certain habit of 90+ percent of Americans that reflects the impatience and dependence on a media more focused on entertainment than accuracy. This, coupled with a government whose adherence to the idea of presenting the whole story is at best questionable leads to a great deal of pearl clutching and histrionics.

I don't know what is going on, and the more I try to get to the heart of the matter, it just seems that the rabbit hole just keeps going down.

So, I am going to watch. I really don't know enough to make an informed decision. All I can do is keep my eye peeled and my mouth shut for now. Things aren't looking all that good and I don't know how bad it will get or if the alternatives are any better.
