Can We Please Change the Subject?

I know I haven't been blogging much lately. Truth is I'm losing interest. The media has worn me down. I don't like reading the news or listening to talk radio anymore. It's all about Katrina, the NSA, high school geography teachers calling Bush "Hitler", gay cowboys, Arabs buying ports, Yale admitting terrorists, and the latest Iraq car bomb with some Gitmo mixed in. I'm tired of it.

The media in this country used to drive visions. They used to be the forum in which we debated the meaningful topics of the day. We used the media to form a vision and move forward as a country. Now all the media does is look to the past. I'm sick of it.

So I have some writers block. I can't get excited about what's in the media. And I don't feel like debating topics that nobody is paying attention to at the moment and I have already debated a hundred times. Where do I go from here?

Kudos to Dennis for his in depth three part series on the Kyoto Treaty. Check it out.
Part I
Part II
Part III

At least someone has the will to keep fighting the fight.
And here are my own thoughts on global warming.
