I Picked Up the Paper Today...

And was totally outdone!  There was an article talking about ethnic mutts, some foolishness about Facebook scams that probably haven't been circulating since last year, and other such nonsense that does not concern me.  I just don't get how a paper that I am suppose to identify with can be so irrelevant to me.  There was a small area of interest that discussed some current things going on in the world, but again, I am only able to recall scandal.  Local news is just as bad.  I read once on a site that offered simple ways to relieve stress, and one of the top ways listed was not to indulge in local news.  The suggestion was in no means to cut you off from what's going on, as a matter of fact, it was advised to instead get your news on the world level instead.  The reason given is because it is so emotionally charged and depressing.  There is nothing we can do, yet we burden ourselves and our minds with what we see.  I now agree.  I have p...
