My apologies to many of you who commented on posts over the last few weeks and received no response. As you will know, online I try and respond to all comments. If you are kind enough to leave them, the least I can do is offer an acknowledgment. Lack of time has been the contributing factor, but hopefully I have managed to address that, and have now replied to most previous comments.
Who Is Responsible, Mister Bush……
What’s Wrong With Us?
Why have they made a film about Daniel Pearl’s gruesome murder, and for what reason will millions of people flock to see it?
OK, the film is an adaptation of the book by Pearl’s widow, Mariane, but am I the only one to find such exploitation of grief abominable? It’s not the making of the film that offends me, but the fact that films are made for profit and the producers know in advance that millions will pay to view it.
That fact deeply concerns me. What drives my fellow members of the human race to sit through such intimate agonies in the name of entertainment?
I fear we are very, very sick.
