I had some really interesting thoughts on the subject. As I was running a little late for work I had to have a chat to myself about media. I managed to jot down a few thoughts on a scrap piece of paper ready to reply NOW.<BR/><BR/>Flippin heck - I can't find the paper. But I will. And when I do, I shall be back.<BR/><BR/>That's a promise!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08554795764385592179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-24041639831960822282009-03-19T18:03:00.000-07:002009-03-19T18:03:00.000-07:00Fantastic post, beautifully written.Not bad for so...Fantastic post, beautifully written.<BR/>Not bad for someone of their face on meds!.xx♥Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919764140075852854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-49808739573131654632009-03-19T17:52:00.000-07:002009-03-19T17:52:00.000-07:00Some folks I know have news blackout weeks and swe...Some folks I know have news blackout weeks and swear by them.<BR/>I find the ads for all the new medications coming out fairly helpful except I have to sing the jingle to remember what the drug does--then you have a group of nurses walking down the hallway singing,"Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go."

She found it depressingly dull. As to manipulatig and being manipulated, it reminds me of "My Dinner with Andre", when Andre Gregory says that New York is one huge prison camp, where the prisonners have become theit own guards.marc aurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03811106443815434007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-86075686541788656852009-03-19T16:33:00.000-07:002009-03-19T16:33:00.000-07:00You raise good issues in this post.

I also subscribe to the NYT and the New Yorker. Mostly I read novels.

We always think people know more and others will fill us up.<BR/><BR/>How is your shoulder. How was the physio but more importantly what did you have for lunch?<BR/><BR/>Yes, Wahid has always cooked. We both worked outside of the home so I preferred to clean and he preferred to cook. So he does all the shopping and use to do all the cooking.<BR/><BR/>Love Renee xoxoReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785932958464359112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-63167223159996470772009-03-19T12:38:00.000-07:002009-03-19T12:38:00.000-07:00How about we all ban advertising...?How about we all ban advertising...?Jinksyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686101468214361004noreply@blogger.com
