  Cultural Disarray & The Media Weenies
 
 
The Russians said this. The Chinese did that. Venezuela hates the US. France went pooh-pooh to US policy. North Korea refuses to talk to the US. Iran is building nuclear weapons. Gas prices are skyrocketing. "Oh my God, the sky is falling!", shout the media.
Then the media shout -- in a manner styled to terrify audiences, "How will the US ever defend itself? Can the US survive? Why hasn't the US yet given in to these foreigners' demands?" The media imply US impotence. They work to terrify Americans just to have them "stay tuned".
The US must be concerned with global fanatical terrorism. World War III was officially kicked off on 9/11/2001. There definitely are thousands of primarily young men in other regions who are so lost and uneducated that they see no future in productive work. They only understand that they must blindly follow their few leaders who incite war against Western civilization and demand suicidal attacks. Attack and kill successful Westerners in order to avenge their own lack of progress.
There are many nations around the world that hardly deserve nation status... and are not substantive nation-states in the historic sense. These are controlled by self-styled demagogues, megalomaniacs, angry fanatics, and power-abusing, oil-rich goof offs. These so-called leaders fail to see that if only they operated by the rules of civility and conformed to reasonable business practices, they could sell oil and pistachios as well as successfully rule their countries.
Certainly the US must defend itself from makers of trouble and promoters of destruction. However, all Americans should stop cowering every time the media shouts "The sky is falling". Americans should live with confidence. Americans should see that the world needs Americans or it would reach a consumptive, confused slowdown. Americans produce, consume, invent and discover better. Relax Americans, get to work doing what you do so well -- producing progress and enjoying life.

Cheerleading, Under-educated Weenies
Traditional print, TV, and radio media know they are losing viewers and readers to the Internet. They see that if trends continue -- as they surely will since progress rides on a one-way street -- traditional media will be out of business. Managements are lost and flailing devoid of creativity. They direct their tech-savvy employees to abuse to excess old-fashioned audio and video techniques at computer speeds. The result is the flashing, yelling, sound-affected TV that has implemented self-interest across its decaying and shrinking spectrum monopoly.
Traditional media companies employ under-skilled, inexperienced, uncaring people from ethnic subcultures and hand over control of the once trusted and accurate information outlets. It is apparent that these juvenile media workers are under-educated in history, logic and common sense, work in frenzied environments, and generally hate and envy their homeland. These facts are readily verified within minutes of viewing CNN, CNBC, Fox News, and glancing at most newspapers.
Certainly the US has an abundant share of under-educated, confused fanatics. Many have exited their closets over recent decades to proclaim fish have emotions, animal fur is not for your use, meat kills when ingested, leather is bad, corporations are bad, the automobile is bad, and anyone who enjoys life is really, really bad.
Certainly the US is dealing with cultural disarray. Immigration, education, individual rights, and other hot media topics will be resolved. Our problem is that it appears we will only be able to resolve these issues amidst recovery from another 9/11-style attack from without.
But in the long run, there will be progress. Hold on tight America. Your leadership is not the worst in the world.
