Forming Opinions

(I'm feeling happy)

I haven't done a blog or video for a while now. I've been busy forming opinions/beliefs somewhat. I swore off keeping up with the news a while back. A lot of it just made me angry. I guess you really do need to be informed though if you're going to have an opinion. I try not to take my opinions too seriously if I'm not willing to dig a little and find out some things for myself. Taking someone elses opinion and making it your own because it feels good is foolish at best. Discounting someones opinion because it doesn't feel good or is "Crazy" is also a bad recipe. I've read and seen some things of late that needed some investigation of my own, and it's not easy. Big media seems dedicated to placating the masses with drivel for the most part, and they slant their stories from their own personal beliefs. It's rare that news of real importance finds it's way to the forefront in a forthcoming manner. It's more of a distraction for the masses. The news that will scare the crap out of people is hidden in a vast cauldron of words and images. This is the where I've been, trying to dig some truth out of it all.

If only more people would "dig" and not accept something said or written at face value.

It's kind of unnerving to think that some illegal alien paid by a political party can go into most voting booths with a utility bill and negate your hard work and well thought out positions, is it not?

I commend you for your diligence.
