Curious Mind

The human mind understands such a small sliver of the information contained in the universe. How can humans make progress towards understanding what is really going on?

A recent guest editorial in my local paper (Sun) complained about Sinclair Broadcasting Group's blackout of "Night-line" on its 62 stations on the day Ted Koppel was to read the names of USA soldiers who have died in Iraq.

The truth is that much of our local consumption news available anywhere in the USA is not the complete story. Bias aside, there are many ways of looking at an event, and each viewer will carry away a different conclusion.

An antidote is to look at Google News a couple times a day. The top stories will all have links to newspapers world wide. Click on names you do not know, names from far away places and read what their take is on the story.

The concept of Media Giants and Censorship is a self imposed constraint, and escape is easy. The link is here.........
