I’m having a mental debate right now. I’ve had this debate for a few years, but it’s come to the forefront of my mind in the last couple of weeks. Basically, I’m debating whether or not to shut myself off from the news entirely. It’s sacrilege, really, for me to do such a thing…to remain ignorant of world events…but after consuming news voraciously for the past fifty years, if there’s one big thing that I’ve discovered, it’s that nothing really ever changes. The news is the same old crap that it’s always been.

My first mental question is: What would I miss?
