And I Should Care, Why?

When I was younger I was told we are all part of one world and one destiny. What we must do is find a way to get along with each other. In reflection, this is because the US and USSR were, at the time, engaged in a Cold War that could with little provocation grow to a nuclear war at any time. Fortunately reasonably stable men, with different ideologies, found a way to coexist and not blow us all up.

Now we are again engaged in a war of ideologies, the only difference is the lack of reasonably stable men on both sides. Why is that? Could it be the rise of religious fundamentalism where each church damn's the other and preach's they are the only true path to God, or is it the advent of CNN, MSNBC, FOX News and Al Jazeera 24/7/365?

Having watched the first three networks I am convinced we should go back to the days when television stations went off the air at 2 am and new was only on at 6:00 and 11:00. For Wolf Blitzer, Keith Olbermann, Bill O'Reilly and Mohammed whoever, perhaps you guys should trade in your gigs for the carnival sideshows where at least you could be run out of town from time to time.
