While we are inundated with 'reality' shows, reality is going on all around us and most of us are fairly clueless, not because we don't care or aren't interested, but because it takes so much time and effort to find the news and decipher what it might mean for us and the world. ~ Michael S. Pauley
It doesn't seem to matter which news channel you watch, you still don't get much of anything unless you sit there reading the snippets that run across the bottom of the screen or spend part of your day digging through their websites. For example, while the talking heads were perseverating over missing e-mails and some rich guy who may or may not have killed his wife and friends, we weren't hearing much about events on the other side of the globe. For example, Putin is back and Russia's Northern Fleet is on full alert for snap combat drills in the Arctic region; their Baltic fleet, the Southern Military District, and the Airborne Forces have been put on high combat alert as part of large-scale drills. The Ukraine has set their military on full combat alert due to the situation in eastern Ukraine.
