Pre-Emptive War

I feel I would be remiss if we managed to let the writers strike pass without so much as an acknowledgement.  Why?  Because everything we ever "learned" about the entire world around us..and it's billions of lives..the good, the bad, the evil and the ugly...everything that you never "witnessed"...came to your "eye" from the head of a "pen" of a writer..and an editor who wanted to "spin it" just write for the "publisher" who was funding the "facts"..as he wanted us to know them..!
