Do You Think You’ll Ever Know?

Writes Tim McGraw:

Hi Ed,   Do You Think You’ll Ever Know? Ed Curtin

I enjoyed reading your latest article on LRC. Yeah, you got it all right. Well done! It is very frustrating how the media, government, religion, or any other institution never tells us the truth. We only get images, sound bites, half the story, or less. As you say, no conclusions are drawn—well, unless the conclusion is a lie, e.g., CO2 causes global warming or Bin Laden organized the 9/11 attacks (the passport from a hijacker found in the street under the towers proves it.)

You are right about movies, too. Every movie I’ve seen, well, almost every one, since 2002, has a subtle message or ten telling me to believe in the state and not to believe in individuals or the family. In almost every TV show, the father is absent, an idiot, or the killer.

I rarely read articles on the internet anymore. Yours are always an exception. I enjoy your observations and writings. I still read books, if slowly. I am currently reading “Love & Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere” by Poe Ballantine. It’s a good non-fiction book set in Chadron, Nebraska of all places. The characters are interesting, and there is a murder on the prairie. I haven’t finished the book, but I don’t think the murder has ever been solved.

The bad guys do get away with murder. I see it in the news every day. That’s a fact.
