I've been somewhat out of the loop this week. Most of my time has been spent between gardening, shooting and wood cutting with a fair bit of socialising thrown in too. I have to say I've enjoyed it.
It's been a relief to be away away from the constant stream of hectoring, scaremongering shite that is flung at us every day. Now, I may not take much notice of any of it anyway; but some do, and some not only believe any scare story that appears in the press, they obsess about.
If the news consisted of just news and was devoid of PR pieces, scare stories, examples of overreaction to minor incidents and the vilification of the politically incorrect, would be better off?
Would we able to make better decisions based on our own experience? Would we happier if we were not constantly be encouraged, cajoled and threatened to change our lifestyles, and left to live with the consequences?
I don't know, but I'm going to find out. I'm not going to take any notice of anything for a while. I won't read a paper or watch the news. I'll just get on with things that I need to do, I'll smoke when I like and I'll take a drink when I please. I'll eat the food that I enjoy. I'll take the opportunities to shoot and fish as I find them.
I'll see if I feel more relaxed for it.
I'll post up a sort of log over the next week, so we'll see.
