Those are big problems and we even have them here on this site. A lot of information is very uncomfortable and many don't want to hear it and tend to simply deny facts and vilify the messenger. Often, it is more about the messenger than the message.

I am glad the article came through. The Times, as Jon Talton said, is increasingly needing us to subscribe to get access. I live on an island and although we can buy the paper there are no deliveries so I only get the Sunday edition. I have enough periodicals and spent too much time online and don't want the online edition (and am living in a fixed income). A lot of important reports are increasingly being taken away from the mainstream unless one pays. I read the article from the paper not online so didn't see the comments.

@JackPedigo be glad you didn't see the comments. The typical no nothings who think they know everything!

@Redheadedgammy It's funny how that works. In the past I would glance at the comments and see a lot of rantings against items that criticized tRump. Sine there was a crackdown on Russian trolls those number have decreased. I think, in the end people hate things that criticize their way of life.
