And, of course, there are the critical stories that literally won’t go away: how will the news media handle climate change?
You mean other that scaring the crap outta people with disaster pawn. I'd like to know that too.

Oh Fun a right whinger Hi James B
but at the risk of stating the obvious, most of those voices inside or outside the US inherently most suspicious and critical of the USA are of the left.
All those fundamentalist muslims will be very upset with you for dismissing them so.
But then its not numerical superiority you're after izeet.many and varied lefties like Moore, Danny Glover, Oliver Stone, Sean Penn etc
Name dropper!

why do we kow-tow to these guys every time they ask us to? is it just that their dying economy is still useful?
We don't know how to politely say farewell to institutions that have outlived their usefulness en masse. So we must ever so patiently wait while others bid a rabid farewell and make a nasty mess. Leaving the rest of us wondering is there a new cleaning agent on the market that will get that stain out. And how does reverse brain washing work? Once you get used to showing non-judgemental deference, deserved or not, its hard to break the habit.

And all us deserving really clever on-to-it people can do is potter on with our trivial little lives being arrogant about all those people like him who have the guts to put their lives on the line for a cause.
Glad to see you include yourself (as in the royal us)in your little caustic outburst.

"a just war exists when a people tries to ward off the threat of coercive domination by another people, or to overthrow an already-existing domination.
So when are we at "already -existing domination" ? And you do know armies dont march out onto battlefields and face off anymore.
We need to invent a sport in which the winner seizes control of the loser’s oil fields.
A rep from each country mano y mano to the death. Oh.... its been tried...centuries ago. Bugger.

It degrades the meaning and true importance of war,
True importance...true importance.... Na cant get there.
which is still something I believe nations must be prepared for.
But we invented SPORT! Trouble being, I guess, is the increase in slothful nationalism mebbe leads to an unrequited blood lust which wants ..ahem... requiting.
Anyway there seems to be a few nations around the world placing a lot of importance on securing their borders, you could say its all the rage in the political landscape. Of course we're all ghouls now, to some one else. -
Hard News: Popular Paranoiac Politics, in reply to nzlemming,
OK, how about a bacchanalia then…..
Damn, forgot those cooking shows.
The religious dont bother me...I have a mean glare
Just one look and they are convinced they are looking into Beelzebub's eyes. -
“what they would do if they were New Zealand’s dictator for a year!”
Can we all have a turn? Maybe its a new game, the whole nation could play.
Me I'd just try to resurrect a form of Saturnalia suitable to these modern times. -
Hard News: What about that Welfare…, in reply to Andrew C,
The whole way you describe it is objectionable, but I'll put that to one side for the moment.
So "bad apples" and "get rid off" lovely.
Seeing as you seem to be acquainted with them and privy to their motivations and actions, you could always inform the proper authority.
Or they could get a job consulting for the WWG, which I think is an brilliant suggestion.
