After giving it much thought, I have decided to limit my viewing of TV News shows. And I aim to severely limit my blog commentary regarding all these stupid racial events. They are presented by the networks in inflammatory film clips which are repeated over and over until they eventually become nearly meaningless.
I watch and I grow angry.
There is one thing I can do to avoid being invaded by all this media manufactured anger.
Stop participating.
Stop watching. Fox News. Stop listening to Bill O'Reilly. No more Tavis Smiley -- Etc.
There is way too much anger this world now. I do not want to add to it.
