sabHey, listen, read this, from the SF Gate. column written by Jon Carroll -- as my friend Jesse says, one of San Francisco's treasures.
"And I am a child of the media. I was alone a lot as a child, through no fault of my overworked single mother, and my companions were radio and television and books. I learned, for my own sanity, to distinguish between the real world and the media world and to treat them with different levels of seriousness.
I saw the World Trade Center collapse. I saw the White House blow up. Both of those events were on a television screen. I understand that one was "real" and one was "just a movie," but I have learned to distrust those distinctions. I have been lied to by presidents and press secretaries and financial experts, but Kevin Kline has always told me the truth. Is a lie about the real world better than the truth about an unreal world?"
