Numb

Every time I read the news, I feel like I've opened up a can of crazy. I dread reading it now. If it weren't for the fact that sometimes there's something in it worth my time, I would quit reading it all together. We're worried about video games making our kids numb to violence, but what about the news? I'm an adult and I don't open the pages and act surprised about the amount of death and destruction anymore, but I SHOULD!!! I'm numb and I'm seriously disturbed about this. I can only assume it has everything to do with the fact that it's a constant now and not something unusual.

This makes me really sad about the current state of affairs in our world.
