''I totally abhor religion''

so do I - and violence ---------------- it's precisely why I believe that vison of real violence should not be censored

it's real ---------- it's not fake, only when we see what we do - might we have any chance at change

governments and military have been loathe in the past to show real scenes of war - graphic stuff

why? ---------- because people would wise up to what war is like and no one would want to go

what a bloody good idea

imagery is powerful -------- the more people are protected from reality --

the more it remains -------------- 'that can't happen to me'

well - it can. And we should all see who is at risk --------------- that includes old ladies in walkers in aged care homes

that includes shoppers in a shopping mall

imagery has power - power plus


Remember people complaining about ill treatment of loved ones in nursing homes -------

what happens? ZIP

one hidden camera which captures staff bashing an oldie ---------- and media gets it

all hell breaks loose ----------- and bloody well should do

Images have power - they drive disgust and calls for action ------------ LOUD calls

authority fears image
