Robin Hood

What's your impression of the mood over there? Positive, negative, or indifferent?

It seems to depend on who you are and where you are coming from.

Those who have lost relatives in war appear to be anti the sale of the stories.

Those who value "dignity" appear to be against the sale.

Those who love money and "news" seem to be pro the sale.

Some people who do not have much money seem to be pro sale but having said that some people who do not have much money also seem anti the sale, so maybe they cancel out.

Personally that's not the kind of story I would read anyway, so I don't really care. I do think that the media hype is a waste of time and energy though, I don't see that any story is worth 200,000 dollars or so when there are people starving in the world. Perhaps a good solution would be for all of the sailors to sell their stories to the highest bidder and them immediately donate the proceeds to Bob Geldof's fund? So take from the rich and give to the poor.
