Mr. Suso #2, With reflection

I have been reading the blog of Rachel from North London a lot recently, basically because it immediately flagged itself in the white noise of blogs that I visit as having a standard of writing far above the normal level. Yesterday's tribute to her fiance was breathtaking and then to follow it up with a left hook like today's article somehow consolidates her already strong position in the cream of blogging. It somehow makes irrelevant not only most blogging (mine included of course) but also the view in certain fine organs that all bloggers are self-centered in the extreme. She has an eye for damning detail in the bluster about 7/7 that rises above the normal stuff of such reports. The bottom line with everything these days is complexification - a self-referential word - and this seems to result in most people switching off from what really matters. Real attention to detail suffers because most detail is just like junk DNA, irrelevant filler to shade the real story. Of course, no organisation can rely 100% on this form of technical-truth-but-practical-lie, because there is always someone with enough ambition to get at the truth. It then becomes a question of how many people you can actually fool. There seems to be an equation in use here - a relationship between how much damage will be done by the truth, how many people are likely to find the truth and how important the truth actually is in the giant scheme of things. In the case of 7/7, all factors in the equation are high value so expect some nit-picking and counter-argument of high order.

I haven't spell-checked this so excuse its ranty feel.
