I am not sure about talking to them. But I do feel a “it’s the end of the world” fatigue. I understand the economic need to generate traffic, but we are told pretty much daily that we are at risk of some sort of deadly peril that will kill us all, whether it is ebola, this fungus, the swine flu, the bird flu, pollution poisoning, global warming, mad cow disease, etc etc. I find myself in the position to dismiss automatically all these claims as bullshit, but it may be that one day they may get one right. There is a cost to crying wolf.
