Here's my rant for today - The media we're using just right in this very moment, brought us one giant step forward. In what direction? There's such a mass of information "at your finger tips". So one could safely assume, we are even more firmly in the driver's seat, in control. We know better now, than we used to, don't we? Wrong, dead wrong, buddy. Our problem is confusion, not ignorance. Talking for myself, I am rather well educated, well informed, but often I am pretty much confused. Who can give me directions? Technically speaking, the role of filtering, selecting and weighing-off is the job of mass media. They give us their editorials, their summaries of situation, they give direction. It is of course a question of trust. Should it be National Enquirer? Or Globe & Mail? or Popular Mechanics? Gimme DIRECTION! You dont get this often in Internet. And one place is BBR; Which turns my rant around into a song of praise: with the current BBR editorial board I get a prime selection of issues served, I print them out and usually after having my hour in the gym with this reading, I am less confused. dj ps: printed out few things and on the way into gym.
