You are so right John. Although there is a lot of fear in the online blogging community - at least there is more of a balance. Thanks for your comment.

I agree that the news in some cases raises the level of fear, but at the same time we need the information so that we may plan accordingly ourselves. What would be nice is that the media actually report the causes and the meddling that led to this. Not just the corruption within some of the corporations, but in the government programs that led to some of this. We never seem to get all of the information unless you research yourself, and usually it is uncovered by the bloggers. Which is one reason why the print media is dying a slow death.
