I know what you mean glow gal, Boo tells me not to watch the news everyday because it upsets me so much. I recently came across a wonderful word to describe the feeling I get- 'weldtschmerz' or world sickness. Its the difference between the world as you want it to be, and the world as it actually is. As I bury my head in the pillow sobbing 'why cant everyone just get along' my comfort comes from the fact that I am surrounded by good people who are trying to make a difference. Oh, and you know where I encountered that term, from Nightcrawler in the X-men comic. Naomi Klein, Umberto Eco- pah! comics are best for making sense of this world.
