Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. The official name for my work is 'live news cameraman'. It would be more honest here to replace the Church English word 'live' with 'dead' – simply to call things by their proper names. But it can't be helped – every age invents its own euphemisms. In ancient times the happiness room used to be called the privy, then the lavatory, then the toilet, the loo, the bathroom and then something else – and every one of these words gradually became impregnated with the odours of the latrine and needed to be replaced. It's the same with the forcible taking of life – christen it what you will, the essential nature of what is happening requires a frequent rotation of tags and labels. | |
