10:42 am [ysbschnetzie]	Once Again Crystalline strands of delicate truths lace the lines of old, yellowed paper The brittle pages of war-time tales soaked with ink and tears, blood and sweat, present history in black and white Here, the touches of time that had their chance to heal wounds of heroes let light leave lines faded, forgetting important messages The mute past pleads for remembrance but decaying tongues without breath silence. Those whose voice is discovered in the world of words feel fictional. Their experienced eyes shut ages ago, their layered lives flattened onto films too easily ruined. Dark tombs that preserve for another life, slow side-effects of being brought to light. The ghosts grow in the depths as dust collects on the lessons unlearned.

11:20 pm [ysbschnetzie]	media terror In an effort to sway public opinion on subjects ranging from music/movie choice, the innocence/guilt of a person on trial, all the way to how secure the country is, has the media become terrorists themselves? Critical, opinionated, paparazzi-ish stories with little merit but lots of hype become acts of media terrorism. Where is the Clark Kent when we need him? It seems the major networks have perfected the art of scaring the public into beliefs held by the barons of various networks. Even more frightening is where the barons get their opinions. Money talks, and the middle-lower class public has very little choice but to listen to the benefactors of the media outlets. Orson Welles had the experience of media terrorism because of one Parson's dislike that snowballed because she had the ear of a giant in the industry. Similar, and more sinister events are taking place today. The more people allow themselves to be terrorized by the newspersons, the more people lose their livelihood and, in some extreme cases, their lives (just remember the tragedy of the Princess) to the abyss of biased misinformation.
