I wonder if some of those reporters ever leave the office! What people usually fail to realise is that newspapers aren't there to tell news, they're there to sell papers. What's in those papers is what sells, not what's important.<BR/><BR/>So we have people stabbed and shot, a global financial crisis, war and famine all over the place, and these tabloids are obsessed with a pop star who looks a bit too thin. Because that's what sells.<BR/><BR/>Fortunately they all have websites so there's no need to pay for them. <BR/><BR/>I have a copy of some of Nostradamus's quatrains and never made any sense out of them. Some of the 'interpretations' look like wishful thinking to me. I suspect he was just writing his drug dreams.<BR/><BR/>Well, the end of the world must come one day so someone's going to be right. It'll be hard for them to say 'Told you' though. I wonder if Adam looked around the garden of Eden, shook his head and said 'Very nice, but it won't last the week'. We're a doom-obsessed species. <BR/><BR/>Photoshop is a serious pain in the backside. It's far too easy to fiddle with images now. that's why I hope film cameras hang around. Still possible to fiddle with them but far more difficult.Romulus Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275578435620952450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13423684.post-56065024595708838862008-04-13T00:49:00.000+01:002008-04-13T00:49:00.000+01:00My mom bought tabloids all the time and believed e...My mom bought tabloids all the time and believed everything she read in them. They "quoted" Nostradamus so often that I finally read the Quatrains, and from then on, I wondered how anyone could say he predicted this, that or the other. Maybe the translations are bad, I don't know. It's hard for me to say he defined anything specifically. People have been predicting the end of the world since the dawn of time, so I'm hard to convince. You know I absolutely do believe in ghosts, but those papers taught me to believe almost none of what I read, and only half of what I see. And since the creation of Photoshop, I can't even believe a tenth of what I see, unless I witness it with my own eyes. I agree with you on this one (as I usually do).astrologymemphis.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094432734141490681noreply@blogger.com
