It is ever more essential that the news that journalists provide is even more important to our lives in terms of how accurately they report the changes affecting it.
On the last day of 2014 I received a lapel pin from the Society of Professional Journalists in honor of my having been a member since 1979, thirty-five years ago. I confess I was a little stunned to think I had been an editor and reporter that long ago. Indeed, I had been one for several years even before I joined the Society.
I doubt that todays generation of young journalists have ever used a manual typewriter nor know what it feels like to hold the pieces of metal that a linotype machine created to make a column of newsprint.

Happy New Year and see you in the future .... which is already in progress.
We now return to our regularly scheduled future, already in progress
Future?? is there no way to slow it down? We’re doomed!!
In theory, practice and theory are the same thing.
But in practice, practice is oh, so very different from the theory.
I used to say to my daughters that the world changes faster now in five years than it used to in five generations.
It’s faster now, but not as fast as it will be. I have no doubt we will unlock the keys to immortality within the next few decades.
It’s one of the reasons I believe the Lord’s return is imminent.
Join the Church of the Future tm.
Wasteing the present, expanding on the past,
into the future!
You too can become “exempt”.
Ask us about our “sacred” wafers”.
Fantastic colours!
Immortality added with immorality = Hell on Earth.

LOL! Theory doesn’t even come close to practice.
I loved the remark to the disfigured man at the end of 300: May you live forever.
I love the Chinese “curse”. It sounds innocuous enough. “May you lead an interesting life.”
