I agree though that some have their minds made up and won't look at what could be done.<br /><br />My concern about only caring about the beauty of nature is how many people are determined to exploit and ruin it. You look at the history of our national parks and see if some hadn't fought for them, they'd all be privately owned today. That kind of fight is still out there. Speaking one's mind certainly doesn't make a person popular :)<br /><br />But if following what is going on makes a person feel sick, I agree-- stay away from it. First priority has to be our own health.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-38895289738458127812014-11-22T08:25:31.171-08:002014-11-22T08:25:31.171-08:00I tend to stay disengaged from politics, or at lea...I tend to stay disengaged from politics, or at least from political discussion on the internet. The world is a mess, so I try to balance the craziness with a view of our beautiful planet. I think I have become resigned to thinking that nothing can be done, and the only things that will change will get worse. Pretty bleak, I know, but that's why I go out and look around for something beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-4854343048798677092014-11-22T06:32:41.948-08:002014-11-22T06:32:41.948-08:00The other good thing about Hallmark for me is not ...The other good thing about Hallmark for me is not only do I not go away from watching the little movie angry at something, I feel they are so short that they are more like a novella.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-73307686194366058512014-11-22T06:31:53.839-08:002014-11-22T06:31:53.839-08:00That's funny, Tabor as I don't particularl...That's funny, Tabor as I don't particularly like romances in movies or TV. Although I've made an exception with the Hallmark Channel this year but they aren't all primarily about romance but also about problems the characters are facing. That's what I like about the romances I enjoy. <br /><br />And this month I have read quite a few. I have learned again what I like or don't like in a romance. If the characters don't interest me and make me want to follow how they work out their problems, and there are always problems, I won't stay with them. If they don't use logic, I won't stay with them. What I can't read right now without becoming disengaged are straight literary works where I don't end up caring about any of the characters and find the situations so manipulated that it irritates me (I can get irritated by reading the newspaper). But this is my month to read romances, (which I hadn't done for a long time either), and I'm sticking with it. Some I have liked and some I won't review because I just don't care or the plot seemed ridiculous. I do like books about people who use logic.<br /><br />After this month, if I continue reading other people's work, i may go back to non-fiction as I have read a lot of that in the past.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-71478570277657792322014-11-22T06:15:56.983-08:002014-11-22T06:15:56.983-08:00Diversity in resources owned or access to resource...Diversity in resources owned or access to resources is the main cause of all the anger to my way of thinking. The poor will continue to fight for their place in line throughout the world until most of them have been killed or imprisoned or they win. (I did give romance novel an effort in my attention...but I just no longer can stay engaged...now love and sex on TV and movies is different for me.) ;-)Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.com
