A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it. — The First Law of Mentat

My Take – If you form your opinions about the world by what you see on the evening news or even on news websites, then all you’re seeing is stop-motion photography of the real world.  In order to understand what’s really going on, you have to pull from many sources, even those that show you things you don’t want to see and communicate with other people, even those with whom you don’t agree.  Watch the world in motion to understand how it works and what is happening.  Looking at the snapshots provided by the press or even blogs gives you nothing but a quick look at what someone else wants you to see.
