The image to the left was taken from volusia.com\/explore-volusia\/news\/<\/a> (note a similar version of the same image is at uemsgroup.com\/sg\/index.php\/news<\/a>). In case someone doesn\u2019t know, the word NEWS is a combination of the first letters of the words North East West South. The chorus starts with this, and points out how NEWS, or as Henry Thoreau calls it: gossip, flows through our lives, cutting us with verbal knives. I like the tune and the message. \u201cStock market ups, stock market downs, Either way it can create frowns.\u201d \u201cA war here, a new war there, Pretty soon, people no longer care.\u201d \u201cGrocery prices through the sky, Following along gasoline price highs.\u201d \u201cRunning scared, hoarding food, Blaming others, makes us feel good.\u201d \u201cThe housing crunch, the stock market crash, Loosing our job, short on cash.\u201d Guns and sex in our schools, Makes us feel, like we must be fools.\u201d Then my documented meditation turned into a solution: \u201cWhat can we do to turn the flow, Is it as simple, as just saying no; No more debt, no more bets, No more abortions, no more jets; No more living beyond our means, Eating more wheat and beans; No more pork barrel politics, Eliminate all entitlements; No more wars we don\u2019t go in to win, no more pornographic sin; No more attacking the family, No more drugs, nor addictions silly.\u201d Finally I ended by rewriting the last two lines of the chorus to say: \u201cTurn around the NEWS today, Find something positive to say.\u201d Why is it so hard to follow this type of simple advice?<\/p>\n
