I ain't talking about ultimate truths, here. As if Mr. Berlin had some lock on truth. :)
I am talking about people (my community, say -- or better yet my family, which was stunned by the world around them last night and is still buzzing with questions) speaking their concerns. Mass media, as Walter Lippman pointed out, calms all questions. Or, rather, creates the questions. But I take your point seriously, Carrol. Asking the same questions (as per, say, CNN or Howard Stern) is safe, in the same way that conceptions of "health" have sometimes been defined as "having the same diseases as your neighbor."
