Ask them what makes them so important that they can invade my privacy with unbidden calls, then don't give them time to answer, just put the phone down. They were being rude by calling so I see that being rude to them is valid. Sometimes just lay the phone down and let them witter away to themselves whilst running up their bill.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
