Sometimes I do. I know politics and local/world events aren't something to be taken over seriously but some times something really pisses me off and I think, what the hell is wrong with people or how could we let that happen?! Then I realize I need to take a step back and emerse myself in some good sci-fi, kiss my wife and have a beer. For the sake of your blood pressure if nothing else do you ever just turn off the news?
Yes. After the Obamacare bill passed, I had to take a break from news and talk radio for a few days. Also, I get the NASA channel from DirecTV. I used to watch it quite a bit, especially during shuttle missions, but I have a hard time watching it now knowing that Obama has killed America's manned space program.
