I have to say Amen to Michael Darnton's statements concerning the fact that 
the whole world seems only to go to the car race in order to see the wreck.  
While I never really applied this truth to the photographers work mentioned 
in this string, I have to admit he's probably right.  Nothing seems to be 
untouched from movie making to the news media.  It's all designed to appeal 
to the emotional equivalent or arena that prompted people to observe 
Christians being fed to the lions.  Thanks Mike for showing me I'm not alone 
in my confusion.
