Reality News

My Dad used to jump up and down shouting at the TV when the wrestling was on.

And even as a kid I used to tell him to calm down as it was all faked.

So I don't know why I still find the various idiocies created for and served up by our 'news' media any different.

I have just watched a piece on BBC Breakfast about a kid in the USA whose Mum let's him walk to school at age 9.

All with vast amounts of 'what do you think?' flying about.

All I know is that, following this level of profile, from his Mum to the US news media to dear old Aunty, this kid's daily stroll is never going to be the same again.

But at least they all got their stories.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.

Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.

I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
