I once took a one-year hiatus from news in all forms. Except for a  
couple awkward conversation black holes it caused me no harm. The  
caveat, of course, is that knowledge is power. Ignorance may be more  
blissful, but it may also preclude preparation.

Of course, we homesteaders can ride out any storm. If we can't, few  
others will be around to chide us.
