TERRITORIAL DAILY NEWS SOURCES: Local and beyond

Posted: 27 Nov 12


A POWERFUL RESOURCE, JUST FOR US

1.  Purpose

To provide fellow citizens with easy, quick-access (at the bottom of this article): 



(1)  with ready links 
-- to useful COMMUNITY 
-- informational resources, 
-- at least Contra Costa County-wide, 

(2)  to a reasonably 
comprehensive 
collection of news media entities 
-- where reliable information 
-- may be readily found

(3) to express a point of view, 
with which readers 
may or may not agree, but 
-- which I feel needs to be stated, 
-- since this perspective 
-- permeates 
-- the entire "system-of-systems" 
-- being constructed 
--to serve you.
-- And is of utmost importance to establish.

2.  Rationale

There is much information 
of vital or passing interest to us, 
as citizens of this world.  
-- They have the power 
-- to change our world 
-- for better or for worse.
  
We need 
to be able know 

-- in good time 
-- so as to matter

-- as much as 
-- time and resources will allow

-- about all there is to know,

-- since it all matters, somehow.

We need to stay abreast of developments 
within every level of our society,
-- from the very personal, 
-- to the family, 
-- the neighborhood, 
-- the city, 
-- the county, 
-- the state, 
-- the nation, 
-- and the world.

3.  Solution

This blog gives you a convenient way 
of getting quick and efficient access
to a significant array of information:

The information sources having been 
selected to suit 
a Contra Costa County 
perspective
-- yet not exclusive 
-- of serving the interests 
-- of those fellow humans
-- who live beyond the County limits
-- (friends, potential friends, and relatives, all)

The information sources having been 
all accumulated 
in one 
orderly place,
-- almost always accessible

WHAT IS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED?

Fellow citizens who use this page
will find it easier 
-- to do their civic duty

Which Civic Duty?
-- Simply that 
-- we have to care 

-- about what happens
-- to the TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 

-- which surrounds us, 
-- shapes every single thing
-- and on which
-- everything depends

-- and then, do or not do
-- only with sufficient knowledge 
-- and forethought,
-- where possible
-- and appropriate.

When?
-- at most any time,
-- all the time

Specifically?
-- as we conduct 
-- our very busy 
-- modern existences
-- in the most favorable ways possible

Why?  
Because we have lots of decisions to make
to conduct complexity satisfactorily
-- and sufficient information
-- is absolutely necessary
-- to effect the best results

Why?  
Because ALL of the things 
-- that can ever hurt us or 
-- help us 
-- come from the environment

Because we 
CAN ONLY BE AND DO 
-- what our total circumstances allow 
-- and not one iota more 

The only way 
we can improve 
what we are 
and do 
-- is to change 
-- the circumstances 
-- favorably

IT TAKES 
-- RELIABLE, 
-- REGULAR, 
-- AND DIVERSE 
-- INFORMATION 
-- TO DO THAT 

So, what?  
Therefore, it's best to see what's coming 
in sufficient time to make allowances
-- rather than being caught 
-- by surprise and 
-- unprepared.

How?
by staying abreast
-- of changes 
-- in the environment
-- with a minimum of cost
-- in hassles 
-- and time

and this blog-page
will help you do
exactly that.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO

IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE ALWAYS-AVAILABLE PAGE,
whenever you visit this blog,
-- is to just click the "N E W S" tab 
-- of the horizontal menu bar 
-- at the top of the screen
-- or 
-- the auxiliary menu, here
    I HOPE 
    -- YOU WILL FIND IT 
    -- ALL HELPFUL TO
    -- THE INFORMATION-GATHERING 
    -- ROUTINES OF THIS LIFE.
