And this is the problem w/ me answering when I'm under meds....
I SOOOOOOOOO did not mean that you are ignorant in ANY pejorative way!! Just more that it can be an almost fulltime job to keep up w/ all the issues these days and figure out who all the players are, and how they're keeping the game.
And it's been what I've been doing lately, since all I can do is sit and read!
The impetus to blame someone is strong in us all. We all want a REASON why everything is going on. And the news programs, and the media tend to look for the most popular meme, and the "Inside the Beltway common wisdom" rather than work a little harder to explain the subtleties of what's going on. Can you tell I'm a little annoyed at the media these days? I feel like they're not doing their job.
