I am struck by the breathless, almost joyful, drama that about 99% of our media, and a huge percentage of the herd treat every new rumor and announcement of a closing, and a lockdown.
The images of the faux drama of an Atlanta weatherman, complete with Loosened tie, proclaiming the impending end of mankind, with children glued to the TV waiting for the school closing list - over the projection of an inch of snow, has sadly come to mind almost daily when I watch the news or read the Vent.
our society’s need to “obey your thirst, image is everything” has taken what is a very serious situation, and made it exponentially dangerous.
Here’s a read worth the time, for those that are actually into a full discussion of where our panic is going to take us. The military analogy is perfect: invading and achieving the objective is the easy part - exiting with your butt intact takes serious skill.
so, what now?
