The middle ground is to notice that we don't live our lives as though either extreme we're true - no matter what our beliefs. We do not float free in a world where morals are not grounded in something. Also, we dont live like morals are absolutes, we make exceptions, resolve paradoxes, live with grey and slowly our absolutes change as well.

Our concepts about life exist and our engagement in living our lives exist differently. Our journalists may not be able to get to the truth of a story but they can provide us with a reliable opinion. We sort out the difference everday and decided who we can trust or not trust. The standards we use for giving our trust are changine all the time.

This is my attempt at traversing the middle ground. Patience, it is new territory for me. <vbg>
