WHAT'S  REALLY  HAPPENING



May 22, 2012 - Quote for Today


"So I don't spend much time 
with the radio, television, 
and the daily paper.  
A car without a radio 
is a place for contemplation.  
When friends object 
that I don't know 
what is going on 
and am not concerned 
with the life our our society, 
I answer that they are deluded.  
History does not happen by the day. 
Once I read every copy
of a leading newspaper 

from January to September 1870, 
with the intention of discovering 
the nature of the historical forces 
of that period.  What I did discover 
was a host of superficialities, 
fleeting illusions, 
and enormous blind spots 
as to what was really going on ...."


George Peck, 1973
