Unusual Times

There is really a schizophrenic quality to the moment.

 

Is the country (maybe the world) really on the brink of an economic disaster? Or are we in the middle of a recession from which the country (according to some Republican members of congress) will recover on its own?

 

There being no real Edward Murrows any longer, and as many opinions as there are blogs (such as the one you are now reading), the din is cacophonous. As a citizen, as a gas station owner, as a passenger to the times we are in, who am I supposed to get my information from? Who is trustworthy?

 

How can we build a consensus, forge a direction and solve a problem when opinions are as magnified as they are by the internet and as myriad as the number of people who have access to it?

 

I think that this is part of the problem.
