Me with a license

Many media organisations have been accused of sensationalizing tsunami coverage. When does honest reporting stop and "making a scene" begin? I have no doubt of the utter devastation in those areas. How can you sensationalize something that horrific? It seems impossible to capture the enormity of these things. Perhaps what is meant is the calls that the world is severley un-prepeared for tsunami's. But that is simple fact. Maybe it is because "scare mongerer's" are saying that we could be next. Whatever it is I still think it is an unfair claim. People would certainly whinge if there was little or no news coverage of the event. I suppose it goes back to the fickleness that seems to be built in to human nature.

I got my restricted driving license today. I spent the rest of it flinging around Auckland in a green car simply because I could. I'll come back tomorrow, I'm tired.
