Re: Feo: "Fahrenheit 9/11" wins Palme D'or in Cannes (Cure for Gravity)

Your post is so good ... I've printed a copy. Well done.

The media treats Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" with all of the seriousness of thermonuclear war. And the public reacts with equal outrage ... for a few days to a week until the next outrage comes along. It has lost the capacity for seeing shades of gray.

So consider this quote from George Bernard Shaw:

"Newspapers are unable, seemingly, to discriminate between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilization."

we just need to update it to:

"THE PUBLIC IS unable, seemingly, to discriminate between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilization."
