Let's face it, people would rather be entertained than informed.Margaret Brownleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083440011924979594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-70114674160390528432013-10-25T10:23:04.194-04:002013-10-25T10:23:04.194-04:00Margaret, what an entertaining post!

I wonder how much the newspapers of yesterday were written for sensationalism and entertainment instead of fact, like newspapers today (tongue-in-cheek).Marilyn Turkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613157670868692501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-48922217911284221992013-10-24T10:09:50.402-04:002013-10-24T10:09:50.402-04:00Vickie, now that's an interesting thought.

Had Jay Leno been around back then, he would have had a field day with that one.Margaret Brownleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083440011924979594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-61504961000493017612013-10-24T10:01:58.851-04:002013-10-24T10:01:58.851-04:00Hi Sally, you're right; technology can certain...Hi Sally, you're right; technology can certainly eat up the time. Watching the news on TV makes me think that we're more than just on our way. At least back in the olden days when we did something wrong we were smart enough not to photograph it.Margaret Brownleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083440011924979594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-24866798710191787792013-10-24T09:34:40.047-04:002013-10-24T09:34:40.047-04:00This was a fun post, Margaret.

That comment about the man eating raw "fried chicken" had me scratching my head. How is it raw if it's been fried? Your new book sounds like a wonderful story.Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-23684211175584039262013-10-24T06:31:01.101-04:002013-10-24T06:31:01.101-04:00Loved this post!
