Paul,
I disagree.  While, perhaps, one ought not totally immerse themselves in
what is going on--as it might drive them nuts--it seems rather important
that we not sit idly by and remain reticent.  Dare I say, we should do
something.

Often it seems that what has been relegated to the margins is that which is
in the greatest need of discourse.  While I too recommend swimming, seeing
films, reading poetry, reading Sein und Zeit and listening to beautiful
music, this too, I think, requires time and thought.
