That sounds like hype to me.temporal1 wrote:What i meant with "the new normal," in response to Robert's words above (i used a to point out) .. was, i question, now with 24-7 hype-(not news) whether folks will be allowed to return to their everyday lives-work-school? when so many, instead, commit all that time to destruction, rather than constructive living. and, they are convinced they are "right" in doing so, 'cause their buddies all tell them they are.
Here's my prediction: people are already living every day lives, working, going to school, and that will continue for the next 4 years. The country will not devolve into a bunch of riots. There will be no armed revolution. All of these things were predicted by some extremists in the last two elections, it's not what happened.
My father used to quote someone or other who said, "a coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man dies but one". Sometimes it's so easy to picture a million fear scenarios and panic, even though none of them will ever happen. Sufficient unto the day is the trouble thereof.
Well said.mike wrote:I doubt that ANYTHING related to this whole election is as bad or good as people think. Convincing people that we are in the worst or best scenario sells ads and makes websites, newspapers, bloggers and pundits more money. I think people should consume less media, myself included. Read good books, work on social connections as opposed to social media. I think that the media is what drives a lot of the fear and hype, and we would be better off by paying less attention. Let's not give them the clicks, views, and ratings. Focus on God's kingdom.
