Stop the presses. Rewrite the morning headline. A baby was born in Palm Springs, FL today. A sure sign that population growth is out of control.
Queen B and I were discussing today how the news media is out of control.
Ordinary occurrences become headlines with a spin that blows events all out of perspective.
Housing, financial institutions, and health concerns have all been victims of a news media grown too large.
There is only so much news to go around. In their rush to be the latest with with the most attention grabbing headlines, reporters build upon stories already told until the event takes on an exaggerated life of its own.
I recently read an interview with a local successful businessman who disclosed he has not owned a television for over twenty years. At the end of the work day he goes home, pours a glass of wine, and enjoys the artwork hanging throughout his house.
Perhaps the world would be a saner place if we all spent more time in quiet contemplation.
