I'm opinionated, and tend to be over-excitable. I wrote most of the text of the post as a stream of consciousness about a week ago, and then added the graphics and did some editing as necessary, but I cannot disagree as you truthfully state it is sensationalist, because I am overly-excitable.

Nonetheless, I stand by the statements of fact in it, and will allow my opinions to suffer the battering of the test of time going forward. I only state them because I am convinced of them, and if they're disproved, that's how I learn to better moderate my passions. This is how I have learned to agree I am overly-excitable.

I long ago quit watching TV, and don't consume such media unless it's a link someone states is valuable to see, and very little of that. I quit watching it because of exactly what you state regarding it, that it is pushing folks into opposing camps, dividing them so they are easily governed.

As to whether it leaves the internet, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that, but must not be referring to the thousands of Australian soldiers keeping Victoria, Australian's under armed guard today, or the millions of French marching in their streets to demand the Macron government retract the vaxpass there.

I had a friend who got his second covax shot back in Feb, or March. Within a week I was taking him to the ER, and the second time I did, he was surely dying. He ended up getting some emergency surgery, and last I heard was still recovering in hospital, although I have not been able to contact him for some time. I don't know if folks getting vaxxed, or refusing to get vaxxed is what you mean by leaving the screen, but it seems not, because that sure happens on the ground too.

Anyway, it's good you look at these things with an eye cast askance, as I have always expected of you. I appreciate you coming and doing what you reckon right to keep me honest and on my toes. Lord knows I'd be little worth without such guidance.

Thanks!
