To Cure The Sobbing Heard

Peggy Noonan with some thoughts on...???

"To me, one of the signal signs of the times is the number of people surfing the Internet looking for . . . something. One friend looks for small farms in distressed rural areas. Another logs on late at night looking for a house to buy in a small town out West, or down South, or in the Deep South. She is moving all around America in her imagination. I asked if she had a picture in her head of what she was looking for, and she joked that she wanted to go where Atticus Finch made his summation to the jury. I don't think it was really a joke. She's not looking for a new place, she's looking for the old days."

Could it be as simple as...people are surrounded by things they don't understand. Like you said...data data everywhere and no one knows a thing. How long would people have to live this way before the biology of it all caught up?

There are lots of things I've been wanting to post about, they will be coming up shortly...
