It’s not working for women, it's not working for men, it's not working for polar bears, it's not working for the cicadas that are apparently about to emerge and swarm us. It’s only truly working for those who make pharmaceuticals for stress, sleeplessness and high blood pressure.

People sometimes imagine that just because they have access to so many newspapers, radio and TV channels, they will get an infinity of different opinions.
