No News!

We just came back from a vacation that included a whirlwind tour through several national parks. One of the stops along the way was Salt Lake City's Temple Square. Several friends that I am very fond of are LDS, so it was nice to see the place and chat with the tour guides/missionaries there. Apparently as part of their mission, they refrain from watching news and reading newspapers and the lot, and instead turn their attention inward towards the time with God.

Here's a look at today's headlines:
8 U.S. troops charged with murder
Sex and drug arrest triggers deadly Florida prison gunfight
Dobbs: Congress stiffs working Americans
Teen convicted for killing over iPod

It's a wonder that more of us don't do the same - after all, bad news may be more sensational, but is it really healthy?!
