THE WIKILEAKS SIDESHOW

It seems that even when things are taken out of context, most people with a soap box, choose to talk about the worst and believe it as truth.  My sense of the Wikileaks is that it is similar to small children barging into their parents' bedroom and witnessing a perfectly legal, pleasurable sexual act between them.  Children fear that the moans and groans (as they know those sounds) mean that one parent is in pain or being abused by the other.  They do not have the experiential background to understand what is happening.

I would offer the same is true of people not trained to international politics and state department techniques.  They do not have any concept of what is going on and, due to our ridiculously inept media about what to dispense as news, opinions of the ignorant are spread as wise commentary on 'round tables'.and other sources.  Assange, peaking through the bedroom door, does not realize the dynamics of sharing bedroom information with naive, young children.

In an article on how television effects your child, the writer says the following:  "Kids who view violent acts are more likely to show aggressive behavior but also fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them.". If the masses disagree with me, I wonder how many are qualified or trained to do the jobs we have elected our President  who appointed Hillary Clinton as our Secretary of State to do though most pundits talk as if they could do the job better...
