That the world is paranoid is not news.
That stupidity and hypocricy dominates our politics, religions,
education, public life, private rationalisations, is not news.
News is only what is targeted now, where the irrational attention has
shifted, at the moment.
Of course any ideas about names linked to 'special attention' can only
be assumed -although rather true... but anyway it's not your fault.
I'd advice everyone, though, to scribble all details anyway.

Yes, I'd say so. Imagine something about I7% of $500, which is I think
$85 plus about $26 (£13) clearance fee = $111
