I don’t! I stopped reading the news, listening to NPR, reading the news on the internet and even talking with my friends about the topics I found upsetting.
Interestingly, I still know everything that’s going on. I haven’t read a Time Magazine in years. I went to dinner at a friend’s on Monday night and saw the magazine and thought that it would be interesting to read. Guess what. It was the same stories I’d read years and years ago! I’m not missing anything.
Regarding the elections. My blood starts to boil when I even look at pictures of the debates. My head begins to explode when I think of the money being spent that could go to schools, etc. Though I know it rarely does.
So, I will read a headline and see what’s going on and know that nothing will sway me from my political leanings, so why watch?
It’s hard enough to stay stable when things are calm, I don’t need elevated blood pressure from our death! murder! election! mayhem! Kim Kardashian! world.
PS: Obama went to MY highschool in Hawaii.
