Cassandra over at Villainous Company has a wonderful piece:

Winter Soldier II: The Inconvenient Truths Americans Won’t Hear from the Media

While she makes some excellent points on the issue, what caught my attention was a point she made about life, and ones attitude toward the same:

I’ve never seen any point in being Edgy. Life is way too full of hard edges. I have very little use for anger - the only way to stay furious, it seems to me, is to adamantly refuse to see anyone else’s side but your own. Once you break down and admit you’re not the only person on the planet who ever manages to think of a plausible point, it becomes difficult to maintain a truly self-righteous wad of indignation.

Well worth the read!
