Ever listened to or read something that was so inane, so full of diluted irrelevant information that you wondered what the hell the argument was really about? Or sat and listened to someone speak in a language that you knew was English but somehow the words were meaningless…where the tried and true recognizable semantic order of language was suddenly destroyed and replaced with streams of pop culture buzzwords and vacant slogans?
I keep reading, watching and listening to the Media white noise trying to make sense of it. Whenever I am able to get something “sensible” I end up asking…sometimes yelling the question: “Where is the Truth?” or “Why don’t you just come out and say it.” And while watching Fox News…”What planet are you from!” is the usual response.
