Fear #1
Television news programs survive on scares.
Most have the motto, "if it bleeds it leads".
This tactic in media causes us to feel unsafe
and sometimes paranoid. The show will usually
offer a solution to the nightmare, like describing
the victim or how to protect yourself. But
who
is the real victim here when a staggering statistic
exists like the one above?

A Culture of Fear
Why are we surrounded by fear?
Why does the news thrive on tragedy?
Crime rates have been plunging since the
1990's, yet two thirds of the American
population believed that they were soaring.
The images that will be presented in the coming
days are to encourage you to question some
of America's greatest fears and possibly look
into what truly lies benieth the paranoia.
"Gives us a happy ending and
we write a new disaster story"

Jarred, Barb, and Cliff
Yet again, three more great people
from the BGMC. The lovely lady in
the middle is the chorus director.
If my facts are right, I believe she is
just one of the two women who direct
a Gay Men's Chorus in the United
States. If you knew her you would
understand why she deserves to be
the director of these fine gentlemen.
