I think all of the hatred and vitriol in this country right now is making me physically sick.

13. You articulated it in a very good way.

I was going to respond something similar, but yours is so much better. I don't have cable and I don't watch the regular, over the air news programs either. That's the beauty of the internet. I can or cannot go search for the news IF and WHEN I want it. I, too, am of the era where you got 30 minutes (actually less minus the ads) of national news once in the evening. I make the choice of what goes into my mind/body, not someone else. I stopped subscribing to a newspaper years ago.

I would never allow all that negativity into my life at this point. I value my health and well-being too much to allow anyone else to control it. Face it, it's all about money making anyway. The news outlets are always ginning up controversy to keep you watching.

Anyway, great post.
