This isn't to say that any of it isn't important or accurate or anything like that. It is that with all the craziness that is going on at all layers and directions we need to start working on focusing on issues and moving beyond just the outrage.

This is not to discourage people that feel the need to express themselves on all of these things, it is just to respond to those that may feel overwhelmed and that they need not feel that way. That the real thing they need to do is to pick those things that they feel moves them and work on them.
