The cheetah has adapted to be where it’s at. It is a refined being, but the gazelle it pursues is pretty good at escape.

The offshoots of our existence are what mostly pleasure us; their unwanted, unexpected side effects, we tolerate. We have to get along. We write documents, enact laws that try to ameliorate and coach.

We defer to wisdom, because we continue to make so many mistakes. Anyone with a measure of truth in their remarks, proffers an escape from the drudgery of failure. Failure is either a teacher or a burden.

The media are us. It is a means to share information. They are, in spite of themselves sometimes, the teachers we all gravitate to. We all support them and can use them wisely or not. They are our entrepreneurial spirit. They cannot survive on limited numbers. They have burdened themselves with investors who want to turn a profit.
