I would be old enough to read Shakespeare, prepare a family Thanksgiving dinner, see love in the eyes that matter, and understand the Golden Rule is applicable to every living person on this planet.

I am in my thirties somewhere and for the life of me I just can’t understand where that 50-year-old daughter came from.

I never knew these sweet flowers were “officially” associated with luck, happiness and renewal…but that is what they were to me, when I was very little, two or three, and would creep around the Rhododendrons surrounding our house, crouching down with anticipation, to see these darling little dangles of bells poking up from the dark and fragrant earth. They made me happy, and insomuch as a three year old needs reassurance, they made everything all right!

News.
News organizations.
Newsworthiness.
Relevance.
Objectivity.
What happened? Where did it all fall apart?
We’ve evolved from substance and fact to sensationalism and opinion. Even weather reporting has been diminished into mostly all hook so that the viewer will hang on for as long as possible. American minds like cattle on a feedlot are being fed on a steady diet of nutrient poor biased and sensationalized news calories meant to encourage us to passively stick around, fatten up and become addicted by swallowing whole the agenda or junk laced “news” being shoved down our throats. The most profitable way to get us fattened up and go gently into the slaughterhouse.
