33. "The news" reports problems. People need the real picture,

not the dark, dystopian notions news-only create. That's what other reports are for.

I truly regret Meghan's and Harry's current problems, but they will pass. That she could marry into the royal family is proof that those reactionaries acting out so badly have already lost. Don't forget to look for Russia's hand, either, in amplifying their helpless fears and angers. The noise hides but can't eliminate the reality that a large majority celebrated this marriage and all it means, just as a large majority here and people around the planet did Obama's election and reelection, and all they mean.
