During times like this the onslaught of pure informational noise is so overwhelming that one feels reluctant to contribute to it.

-Scott Rosenberg

Yeah.

I've been avoiding television news coverage -- I figure that I avoid television as much as possible when there isn't a war, so there's no reason on earth to turn towards it when it has something huge to work itself over over. I've been reading Salon, but not everything. Honestly, I'm kind of undecided about the war... I guess I still think that it shouldn't be happening right now, but I'm hoping that it goes well and humanely and that this administration has not botched diplomatic relationships too terribly. We need some humility. I also hope that if it does go well, Americans will not simply decide to cede all judgment to the Bush administration.

shudder.
