I understand. I too want to lash out at news outlets, say, who interview the kind of people you mentioned. As I wrote in my last piece, how does Ukraine shoot down 44 out of 50 missiles, boast about that, and then turns around and say they need to evacuate. Why don't journalists questions that immediately? Gets me going. But I have to leave it alone. Either I have something worth saying or I don't. I need to trust the reader. Otherwise, I'm just part of the problem--shallow talk.

I'm not telling you anything I don't struggle with every time I write. One of my favorite lines from a movie, "I believe a man is as big as what'll make him mad". From Bad Day At Black Rock. Anyway, it's hard.
