Although well-meaning people, an ignorance of worldly affairs leaves me wondering how people derive meaning and satisfaction from vicarious trivialities.
Just because their world is smaller it is no less real, and the dispute over Farmer Footrot's cows is no less important than the dispute over rulership of Iraq (albeit Farmer Footrot's shotgun is trumped by the US nuclear arsenal).

We make meaning where we find it.
