Opinion's on Stormy Weather, Wednesday's:

A question about :"opinion's" for prospective juror's in New York, allowed question's for the first of many Trump trial's: "Do you have any firm opinion's or firmly held belief's about former president donald trump? You take away the Cap T and donald is misspelled. Strong, but subtle influence of spell correct on the nation and world. Grammar correct is equally deficient in established proper grammar and often suggests wrong changes to your writing's. T mobile is really C minus or D plus.

"Override" is the way of the thinking person these days. Having to ignore the cacophony of the mass ignorance is the way of the stoic. At least mosquito's give you a warning, but the subtleness of the press and media is not so revealing.

The world, continues this week, to be in chaos, with wars still raging on most continent's. The militarism is shared with a global upheaval of crafted social norm's and "values". The subtle "non mosquito" nature of humans, has us blind to the intertwined phenomenon sharing our dirt ladened orb. In the US, as opposed to most of the rest of the world; we allow opposite opinion's to be shared in the media; hence the question: what does opposite mean? Though this is a rhetorical question like A plus B is equal to C/D plus 4, what dies A times B equal?

For mathematics to work within logic, there has to be a qualitative attachment to the equation, A dozen is 12, what is 12? a dozen eggs, doughnut's pounds of compost or gold? So, when a person brings forth a proposition, and another person brings in counter-points, seen as the opposite view or position, the word opposite has moved out of the mathematical logic and into the realm of best subjective opinion. This world of "opposites" is completely dependent upon the societal (commonly held "truths"), religious and cultural belief's, education (not exactly an exact science), and finally there is a social emotional attachment to nearly all rhetorical subjects.

For the past hundred plus years "news" has been a global view. For most of the word's life it reflect the local information from the emperor's and the dissemination, so news was never considered truth, except in the sense of "truth or consequences". News is a type of opinion, current events and current affairs are opinions, and opinions are opinions (my 3 Wednesday sub topics, all one). When you take the category of "news", right now and since the time of Moses, subjectivity, outside influences, and usually rather nefarious intentions, it has since the beginnings, never attempted to whole and unquestioned truth. When news exists, as it does today, the message needs to be "acceptable" to all the interested entities, of the medium. This was a Socratic view, and reinforced the stoic lessor paths.
