I hate gossip.I've also become very reluctant to share any of what I have "News" because I felt it was very likely to become public domain.However, much in the media, in publications and on the Internet is based on gossip.Many people have become so accustomed to it that they fail to recognize it as gossip.I find it boring and destructive.Information for general consumption.I met an older friend who I hadn't seen for some time."Mind your own business" is considered rude and aggressive.They consider it news.
