The main problem with the excessive amount of news we are forced to digest on a daily basis is that a HUGE percentage of it has nothing to do with us. A tornado in Cape Cod is devastating to them, but meaningless to me in California. A murder in Mississippi is NOT national news. But it does add undue stress to our lives. A normal person shouldn’t be exposed to all the mayhem that occurs in the country. We can barely manage our local madness.
