My estimation is, based on past posts - you appear less needful of such an "overview" wake-up than most folks (?) You may also share with a few of us (in your own way o'course) certain dissatisfactions with the festering gob of consumer mindlessness kinda.. inescapable here. Too?
Confusing that latter with - quite close-to-home possibly primitive goings on, can indeed do in one's umm equanimity?
There are also folks with signs hung-up to suit these times, re conflict resolution IIRC - for those situations where it's just Necessary that a certain point be made by.. someone Not-you, y'know? My guess is that this is one of the more frequent gaffes we all make in situations where there's more heat than light - "consider the Source" (a phrase which translates into deaf ears everything next said by a currently particular er Source)
I'll wish you Luck in wending way through necessary euphemisms that a moment demands -- but you actually know much of this stuff, remember ??
