   la is trying to mandate it, thank heavens, cuz this is where i abide!!! this   
   is what the internet and open access to the media, the expansion of cable news   
   networks, and trump, all combined, have done with the fabric of our union.   
   it's like a chemical    
   snowball rolling down the mountain in an avalanche, picking up mass and   
   velocity.   
      
   all the threads are unraveling. i predicted this over two decades ago, saying   
   to myself, in my journal, that we needed to cut back on this global news   
   networking, and turn our focus local, for a healthier and more secure populus.   
   the media, as it is    
   evolving, is destroying our collective mental health as a country.   
      
   i said to myself, maybe it has to get worse, before it will get better. maybe   
   even tiny steps in this direction are already being taken. i don't do social   
   media myself, facebook and twitter and whatever else there is outside of   
   usenet, but i heard for    
   example that little tidbit about pulling back on face recognition in facebook,   
   to help protect people's privacy more. maybe that's a step in the right   
   direction. but i'm not sure....because then there is also the issue of social   
   security....   
      
   i feel like an exile in a strange land. my life is going down the tubes, into   
   the toilet. thank g-d for drugs (medical assistance). sad, ain't it?   
      
   if only my prince would come....i know this sounds awful, but based on some   
   clues...i hope he has the tendency to get as fucking fucked up as i do....and   
   maybe we could be just perfect together.....and maybe it would even GO AWAY,   
   and we could live    
   happily ever after, and look back, like, can you BELIEVE all that shit, how   
   fucked up we were? and all we needed was each other....so romantic...   
      
   well, a girl can hope.... :-)
