The world is a dangerous place. There is no way around it: it's always been this way. Whether it is a North Korea crisis, something burning in the Middle East, or our national debt, the news can bring you to the reality of danger, of war, of looming financial crisis.

Sure, by not reading it, you can retrieve yourself to a happy place in San Carlos or Palo Alto, but the danger still irks there, and it is not going away...

Reality check!

Mass media focus on drama not in information; so your emotions are appealed more than rational thoughts.

You can't do nothing about the North Korea crisis even if you watch the news, that's a "Reality check".

That's right, jQueryIsAwesome, jQuery is awesome in Palo Alto.

And you can do nothing about North Korea. And you don't care about North Korea, because the only thing you care about is Palo Alto, its organic restaurants, its girls, and, of course, jQuery.

But NK isn't going away. And you, American kids, can stick your heads in Palo Alto sand, and assume that all is good, and by not knowing what's out there, you will make yourself happier.

Happy happy joy joy!

I'm Colombian, like, live in Colombia/South America.
