Reporters are assigned stories to report. Their editors & news directors pick the stories you are going to get pounded by. Good news makes lousy news.
Hysteria builds interest, garners eyeballs & ears. That's what advertisors pay for.
You will hear the spin in the news that will get people in a lather & sell advertsing.
The poli's look at the polls before they pick what they support. They are ruled by whatever fear the media paints them with.
Their spin doctors, and the spin doctors for the NGO-enviro groups all twist, subvert and re-make history and choose the facts to fit their spin.
Life as we know it was forged in a primordial stew of sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen & steam spewing about, tempered by who knows how many ice-ages, and poof, here we are.
Either that, or God dropped us in for a temporary visit, Aliens dropped us here because there grew too many to carry & feed, or we're simply an experiment to see how long we can tolerate each other before, like rats, we start biting each other in the back.
Perfection is unattainable, as every time we get what we thought would be perfect, the bar moved. Democracy is perfect, except people learn they can vote themselves largesse and other dumb crap that simply destroys democracy and drives us back into the anarchy of the bully-boys. Today's bully-boys are social theorists who believe self-responsibility and approximately true history are for those who are... to quote SuZZi, crimnals who should be thrown in jail.
The enviros & PETA were quoted in the TC a couple weeks ago, in a story about lab-grown fish cells and pork-cells, which multiply & grow into bare meat in petrie-dishes, fat & grisle-free... "This is a good, socially-responsible alternative to natural meat because it does not distress animals, and takes no farmland to grow the protein, thus is good for the environment, and is healthier for consumers..." Yes, that's right... Soylent green, and it's already being served to you today by commercial enterprises, as noted in the paper. Frankly, I'd prefer farmed salmon.
Merry Christmas to all.
I cincerely hope for all of us there will be others.
isco-FYI-the Taliban government agreed to hand over bin Laden if they were provided with "proof and evidence" of his involvment. S.o.S C.Powell said the U.S. would make its case against OBL but recanted days later.even the FBI's Rex Tomb explained later that no indictment or charges were forthcoming in the case due to no hard evidence.go check the FBI website,don't take my word.Lastly, tell me why wage a 9 year war in Afghanistan when the alledged hijackers and mastermind are from Saudi Arabia? I support the troops but not the bogus mission...
