The media: Control the information you get, shapes your perceptions and actions.
Unfortunately, the article leaves most questions unanswered. Similar to an article about water service being interrupted to a hotel, when a massive subterranean sink hole swallowed portions of several city blocks destroying the city’s underground utilities in the area. But that is journalism today; useless most of the time.
Unfortunately common sense seems to be less common today. I would not travel in Japan with a documentary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki playing on my laptop, nor would I walk around the inner cities of the U.S. wearing a white sheet, walk the streets of Jerusalem with a SS helmet or try to order a pork sandwich in Jeddah. To do so is to invite trouble-it is dumb.
So what were they thinking? Did they accomplish what they set out to accomplish-perhaps some notoriety?
