Quote by Bruce Jackson

The media bring our wars home, but only rarely have they been able to do it in complete freedom.

Summary

This quote suggests that the media plays a significant role in presenting the realities and consequences of wars to the public, making war seem more personal and relatable. However, it highlights that the media's ability to fully and independently report on these wars is often limited or restricted. This could be due to various factors, such as government censorship or media bias, which curtails the media's freedom to provide comprehensive coverage of conflicts. Consequently, the quote underscores the important yet constrained function of media in bringing the impact of wars closer to people's lives.

Better than hide-and-seek, I like the game called Sardines.

Better than hide-and-seek, I like the game called Sardines. In Sardines the person who is IT goes and hides, and everybody goes looking for him. When you find him, you get in with him and hide there with him. Pretty soon everybody is hiding together, all stacked in a small space like puppies in a pile. And pretty soon somebody giggles and somebody laughs and everybody gets found.Medieval theologians even described God, in hide-and-seek terms, calling him Deus Absconditus. But me, I think old God is a Sardine player. And will be found the same way everybody gets found in Sardines - by the sound of laughter of those heaped together at the end.
