Are we a culture that places more value on the amount of drama a person creates (or endures) or the beauty emanating from that same person? |

Sure, we live in a culture, which is "attracted by sensations and drama" and there is an important worldwide industry of wide influence, producing these attractions (and making big money thereby). |

It appears to me that the media chooses who is popular, not the public. |

I would say that Whitney Houston was a very talented artist before the drugs and disastrous choice of husband but I would not call her inspirational. Perhaps at the beginning of her career she was but I don't think anyone should aspire to be what she became at the end of it. |

Wishing you all a Happy Valentines Day! I am not able to sit at my desk for very long yet, but do manage to peek in and admire the talent. |

Wish you good luck, Baldur! My grandmother planted the African Violets in her room, near the window. She had lots of them, various colours and it wasnt difficult to do, they only need sufficient sun. |

The next plant I'd like to add to the indoor garden is a strange one from Madagascar. It's called Alluaudia Procera and is mostly intimidating thorns. |

I had to look up the Alluaudia Procera, and noted that it looked like an ocotillo but was not even related. Should be a very cool plant, Baldur. I have a large African violet which I recently divided. It was given to me ten years ago by a friend who has since passed away. The plant is a lovely bloomer, and a great reminder of my friend. |
