Unless you live in a cave, it's a good idea to listen to the media once in a while. But that is really up to you, I want to know if a bomb is heading to the u.s, I would want to get to safety, and listen to instructions on how to stay away from radiation, that may not mean much to you but I guess I'm concerned.
I say the more you read about stuff the better, how else can we know how to vote and all the rest of it? It's all out there, got to keep up to be a good citizen, that's what I think.
