24/7 news

and a quote about how discomfited we can become with too much exposure to a daily diet of bad news.

"When I was a child people simply looked about them and were moderately happy; today they peer beyond the seven seas, bury themselves waist deep in tidings, and by and large what they see and hear makes them unutterably sad."

~ E. B. White

Unutterable sadness is why I quit watching most news about 2 years ago. It is also why I can't watch Dr. Phil - too much misery all in one place!

I don't watch much news! I find that they tend to make me angry and probably don't do any good to my blood pressure ;)
