I
have recently begun to apply a new test to many of the things that bother me. When it seems that a news story is just too fantastical, or requires too much suspension of belief, or seems to contain too many coincidences, or requires too much conniving such that the whole thing couldn't possibly be true, then ask yourself this question:
The TEST: "What if only 50% of
what they are saying is true or applicable?"
And if 50% of it seems plausible, then wouldn't you have
to say there is something to be concerned about? Shouldn't you pay more attention? Is that enough that reasonable people should get exercised?
