I can't say I know what to make of it really, but suffice it to say, I'm not really getting my news from just Fox and CNN anymore. I wish I knew how to be more open, because that's what I despise most about news. I hate so much censorship. I hate being in the dark. It's interesting to read your reactions and new ideas and sentiments emerging now. I hope you keep updating--even when I can't get to the internet to respond right away. And again, I really miss you guys.
