Depends on us! The media have a mania for hysteria and pushing our buttons. I think we were better off before all this online nonsense. It’s always in our face, and we have to learn to ignore it.. There is such a thing as readinga book or readingfamous poems, that I really suggest. None of us are Robert Frost. Then choosing a favorite poet and patterning ourselves after that poet is a good way to write good poetry. Pangie

I agree....everything is treated as a crisis today...what I'm wondering is why my cracked little toe hasn't been deemed newsworthy...it's a crisis for me :-)
