I had a brief encounter with the news yesterday. I am often shocked at how quickly I get stained. Someone once told me, Lee “you know how not to get dirty? Always wear a white tuxedo.” I gloried in the sincere wisdom of that statement. In 2008 I made a conscious decision to stop watching the news. I often felt dirtied by it, felt like I had been shown things I was not capable of bearing up under, and many times felt like I had been taken to a XXX movie of life. It was like I was self-harming my heart, mind, and soul. No one can live in the drowning pool of technology today without occasionally getting a little filth splashed on you, tuxedo or not. What bears down on me today is how civil so much wickedness has become, as if speaking of Auschwitz was talking innocently about Disney World.
