That's true, why eat when there's net to surf? :) Educational...ahem. Yes, the very educational nature of infomercials, Court TV and Marginalia makes my head spin with its highfalutin' learnitude. :) The purpose of journalism is to tell people what's going on, and yes, to ferret out injustice. Investigative journalism by itself doesn't bring about change, it presents what is actually happening, and then hopefully people take it upon themselves to do something about it...or they don't. Quite frankly, Mars was driving, and where Mars says the destination is, we go. Also, I'm a lazy sod and sometimes I get sick of fighting the world's collected demons on my lonesome. So sometimes I'll actually make a point of not supporting bastards in power, other times (like the rest of the human race), I just can't be bothered. And I'd nver start a holier than thou argument, Lillebuen, because like most Scandinavians, you'll go through extraordinary levels of discomfort just to obstinately stick to your guns. I could never possibly win. :) Edited 12-17-2002 06:48 PM
