I'd like a forum just for Current Events things that are in the news rather than have to sort through them in the General Forum. Things that are newsworthy could go there too... such as would be passed across the neighbor's fenceline, anything upsetting and stuff like that. Right now (and usually) there are a few threads in General that are distressing, just reading the subject lines I need to de-stress Maybe a sub category?

I deliberately avoid the news, picking and choosing where and when and what. I find that helps me keep on a better keel than constantly being traumatized by the media and unkind acts of the world.
