Just thinking it's interesting these days that news of seeming importance on first blush, in the onslaught of important following news just fades into oblivion, not solved nor resolved nor answered for; no longer important. It's like viewing an endless stream of trailers but they never make the movie. We all can think up plenty from the past month. Or can we? The question is have they become less important, less important relative to the new thing which soon will be replaced in our minds, or were they never important? Is importance a passing fancy? Do we really need to be titillated by any of it and if not, why do we embrace the farce?

Maybe we just never tire of fetching the stick.
