Homemade cures for social maladies
Every day I look at the readers’ outrage columns in the papers, and wonder, are we really that worked up a society, or are the editors merely exercising their amusement by publishing these opinions?
My favourite clueless editor would recurringly drag the spatial expression ‘tip of the iceberg’ into a temporal context, when referring to events not yet occured. These people are similarly lost on the nuances of what bothers them. Their favourite expression is ‘it is high time’, usually employed on some segment of society that they read about in the papers.
Come to think of it again, if the newspaper influences the clue level of its readers, what does it say of this one?
