It is much saner to concentrate on the little sphere we call our lives and our immediate surrounding where we can and do have an impact. After the June 8th elections here in California, I had an overwhelming desire to never vote again. It all feels very pointless to me. Nothing is ever as it is presented and the machinery behind the facade is grinding faster than ever. <br /><br />The deaths of celebrities don't interest me. The death of the environment catches my attention.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-38175173789601270062010-06-19T13:10:55.258-04:002010-06-19T13:10:55.258-04:00And as you might imagine, I'm tuned in as much...And as you might imagine, I'm tuned in as much as is possible. I need to work in my garden, mow and blow, dig dandelions, tame vines, wash windows now that it's finally stopped raining every other day, but I'm such a news junkie that I spend much of my time live tweeting the news everyday. And the news just gets worse and worse. You are smart to tune out. I just can't. It's a lifetime of conditioning that keeps me glued to the news. I'm planning to work outside today, but I'll be taking the radio out with me so I can listen to NPR all day. I wish I were more like you and less like me.Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-59015060977447519352010-06-19T10:37:20.025-04:002010-06-19T10:37:20.025-04:00Who's Dennis Hopper?

Gary has my sympathy just because of how his childhood was consumed by the demands of being in television as a child.<br /><br />Believe me, I would love to be able to tune the crap out. In fact I would enjoy it very much if I could live on some isolated island or out in the desert, just when I think it can not get any crazier it does just that.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-1525261169383900892010-06-16T10:05:05.881-04:002010-06-16T10:05:05.881-04:00Enjoying your attitude..almost like a breath of fr...Enjoying your attitude..almost like a breath of fresh air,,looking forward to reading the previous posts...ain't for city galshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938751007704247232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-56986671642300518322010-06-15T21:45:30.747-04:002010-06-15T21:45:30.747-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.PENolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920921974302444898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-30197594562913166322010-06-15T10:51:18.349-04:002010-06-15T10:51:18.349-04:00It's like the spoof of the Jaws movies, as dep...It's like the spoof of the <i>Jaws</i> movies, as depicted in <i>Back to the Future</i>. The movie advertised is something like Jaws XVI, and the slogan is "This time, it's really, really, really personal."<br /><br />So it goes with U.S. politics these days. You're right to tune out - funny enough, I go through tune-out periods too, and they always do me a lot of good.El Cerdo Ignatiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00646154540141962389noreply@blogger.com
