Re: The only headlines that matter (none / 1)

It's like watching people on drugs.

"There's a problem!"

"Yeah man - hey - yeah - you're right. A problem. I totally get that."

"The house is burning down!"

"Burning down? What? Oh - yeah. Bad. Very bad."

"We must do something!"

"Yeah - do something - right. How about - I know - let's say here's the answer. And we'll pray to this statue of Adam Smith. That always works. Right? Solved. Cool. Yeah. Hey... What were we talking about just now?"

Stop blaming poor Adam Smith. It's hardly his fault that these eejits can't read more than a few quotes from his works.

Sometimes reading ET is like watching people on drugs.
