"Up on the bus station's mounted television, the news is flashing. It makes me nauseous, all those pictures from the war." Page 125
It is so true. The news is pictures of daily life flashing by on a screen. '10 wounded, 8 killed in explosion. Girl falls prey to bear. Man arrested for possession of drugs.' All of the headlines can make you sick, the world we live in isn't safe, no matter how much we wish it is was. Nadira said, "It makes me nauseous....", well Nadira, it makes me nauseous too. The news just makes the headlines reach people that would not know about what happened otherwise, thus make the news the headline generator. They decided what comes in and what goes out. A group of people controlling what you think, now doesn't that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside?
