The Dude

God I just happened to watch that movie last night.

Every year he has a toe. One year he missed significant time because of it.

And yes Guido I read but unlike you I don’t believe everything the media spoon feeds me

I actually do quite the opposite. I chastise people for believing everything the media spoon feeds them. Bad news sells far better than good news. That's something I learned long ago while working as a member of that very same media and was a major reason I left that industry. Doom and gloom provide far more clicks than sunshine and rainbows, unfortunately in today's digital media culture.

Reading past the headlines and the first paragraph and then searching out every snippet of information is the only way to muddle through what is being force fed. Today's public either doesn't have the patience to truly research or are simply to lazy. I will admit, being retired does give me far more latitude.
