Context can be everything
The other night I was driving home and listening to Peter Tilden on talk radio. He is my favorite weeknight talk show host and I usually find him to be right on the money with the news he discusses. However, he bought into a conclusion made by another media source and it looks like what he claims was said wasn't what was really said.
What he stated was that Tom Cruise had compared shooting on location to doing a tour of duty in Afghanistan, in terms of the workload and being unable to see his daughter. After all, he'd read this: http://www.tmz.com/2013/11/08/tom-cruise-suri-lawsuit-deposition-afghanistan-war-olympics/?adid=hero4. If you don't want to go to TMZ.com, here's an extract:
As we reported, Cruise recently sat for a deposition in his $50 million libel suit against a magazine publisher that claimed he abandoned daughter Suri -- and his quotes are GOLD.
First, the Middle East -- Tom says his location shoots are just like serving a tour in Afghanistan, "That's what it feels like. And certainly on this last movie, it was brutal. It was brutal."
The problem is, what they reported was taken out of context. Here's an excerpt from his deposition:
Q. Now, your counsel had publicly equated your absence from Suri for those extended periods as being analogous to someone fighting in Afghanistan. Are you aware of that?
MR FIELDS: Objection to the form of the question.
You may answer.
MS MCNAMARA: Yeah, you can answer.
A. I didn't hear the Afghanistan, but that's what it feels like, and certainly on this last movie, it was brutal. It was brutal.
So he did not say what he was accused of saying. At least not in those words. But I still find his statement that his last shoot felt like serving a tour of duty in Afghanistan; because he has no idea of what such a tour is like. He may face some small risks here and there on-set, but he isn't at risk of being blown to bits by an IED, or taken out by a sniper while on a Search and Destroy mission. No one is going to attempt to infiltrate his set with the intent of killing every American there. He isn't living in tents without air conditioning, eating MREs. Hell, the man hasn't flown on a commercial jet more than once in the last four years.
What he said is not what he's being blamed for saying. What he did say is still wrong and he should apologize. Or else embed himself for six months with a combat unit and then come back and see if he still feels the same way.

Another talk radio host was talking this evening (Sunday) about the tragedy that is going on in the Philippines, where more than 10,000 people have died from Typhoon Haiyan. He described it as being five times more powerful than Hurricane Katrina and intimated that all the problems that those of us who aren't dealing with the storm's aftereffects are trivial in comparison.
They may be. I'm sure that my issues involving health, finances and the strain of trying to work part-time are nothing compared to someone who has lost loved ones along with their home. Who is dealing with nowhere to sleep, no food to eat and nowhere to turn for help.
I don't want to minimalize this event either, but it needs to be placed in perspective. In 1931 there were floods in China that killed somewhere between 1,000,000 and 4,000,000. In 1887, when the world's population was not even 1/3rd of what it is today, over one million people died when the Yellow River flooded. That was 0.005% of the entire population of the world at the time. Even if the death toll of Typhoon Haiyan were to triple to 30,000, it would still be "only" 0.00043% of the total population of the world.
Every single life lost is precious and a tragedy. But the hyperbole has got to stop. When someone is depressed, they don't need to hear someone ranting at them that their problems are insignificant in comparison to the difficulties being faced by victims of a natural disaster.
Five years ago, tropical cyclone Nargis caused over $10 billion in damage and killed more than 138,000 people. It was barely a blip on the news here. Where was the hyperbole about a storm that may have killed five times as many people as Typhoon Haiyan did?

Random Ponderings:
If you're teaching someone, should you worry as the course approaches the end and they are still struggling with things you would think would be second nature by now?
How could someone on a trivia game on television not know that Leatherface came before Jason Voorhees and Michael Meyers?
I don't know why the four survivors from the famed Doolittle Raid are calling their reunion this weekend the "final" reunion, but I salute their bravery, courage and longevity. Their bold, daring mission inspired a nation. RIP, Lt Col Doolittle.
If Tim Tebow moves to the broadcast booth as he is rumored to be doing, will they create a "Tebow-cam" to catch him doing his signature move?
Jimmy Kimmel doesn't deserve to be fired for what a child says on his program. Choosing to allow children on the show without being able to censor/edit their remarks might be a firing offense though. It was a bad decision, but he did not advocate or endorse genocide.
Apparently CBS is using one of its hour-long dramas in determining how to handle their erroneous reporting on what happened in Benghazi. The main character on "NCIS" has a strict policy of never apologizing and so far the network won't apologize for its error in this report. What was said by Lara Logan on tonight's episode of 60 Minutes was not a real apology.
If Richie Incognito really believes he was Jonathan Martin's "best friend" on the Miami Dolphins, I'd hate to see how he treats his worst enemy.

Movie quotes for this week will be from great "war" films. Today from "Lawrence of Arabia":
Prince Feisal: Well, General, I will leave you. Major Lawrence doubtless has reports to make upon my people and their weakness, and the need to keep them weak in the British interest... and the French interest too, of course. We must not forget the French now...
General Allenby: [indignantly] I've told you, sir, no such treaty exists.
Prince Feisal: Yes, General, you have lied most bravely, but not convincingly. I know this treaty does exist.
T.E. Lawrence: Treaty, sir?
Prince Feisal: He does it better than you, General. But then, of course, he is almost an Arab.

Auda abu Tayi: It is Auda of the Howitat who speaks.
Sherif Ali: It is Ali of the Harith who answers.
Auda abu Tayi: Harith! Ali, does your father still steal?
Sherif Ali: No. Does Auda take me for one of his own bastards?
Auda abu Tayi: No, there is no resemblance. Alas, you resemble your father.
Sherif Ali: Auda flatters me.
Auda abu Tayi: You're easily flattered. I knew your father well.
Sherif Ali: Did you know your own?
#3
T.E. Lawrence: The Law says the man must die... If he dies, would that content the Howitat?
Auda abu Tayi: Yes.
T.E. Lawrence: Sherif Ali. If none of lord Auda's men harms any of yours, will that content the Harith?
Sherif Ali: Yes.
T.E. Lawrence: Then I will execute the Law. I have no tribe and no one is offended.
