Isn't that real life sometimes?

    But we have. Take "yellow journalism" that helped get the U.S. into war with Spain over Cuba. I agree that MSM is in bed with the government now, and instead of propaganda, they are actively colluding for censorship against any inconvenient truth.

      I think the older we get and the more we experience, the more the dark side of humanity can wound us. I have trouble with this sometimes. As I realize just how much power I have over my own life, I can get frustrated at that which I have none. Each of us lives in a separate universe, so to speak. I don't think I can ever fully understand the mind of another. I enjoy most of your comments as I did your audio posts. That's what I like most about this site: the exchange of ideas and perspectives. I would miss your views and experiences if you were to leave for any reason.

        So treat these forums as such. Take everything with an open, but skeptical mind.

          For example, I don't hear alternative news concerning Covid-19 from most other forums. That's not to say that I believe everything I hear, but it does give me a more rounded picture to form my opinions. I also believe that this site has more potential for more perspectives to be shared.

            Damnit, Johnny! This is why we can't have nice things.
