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. :)

Is this a rhetorical question? You lived with me for how long? You know I don't eat. Period. ;)

And as for my employment--I work for an EDUCATIONAL station. We run all the stuff no one wants to watch. My hands are pretty clean as far as TV goes. ;)

My alignment is Lawful Good, not Chaotic Evil.

Ponder this: what's the purpose of journalism? I'm asking. I really don't know what the mission statement for journalism is. Isn't investigative journalism supposed to bring about change? I always took it that way. Wal-mart has been revealed--through investigative journalism--to be a company not concerned with human rights or living wages. I choose not to support them, because my beliefs are at odds with theirs. I just found it odd that you would have no problem shopping there--that's all. Didn't mean to start a "holier than thou" arguement. ;)

Sorry, I've spent the last 3 years complaining about Wal-Mart to my family, and my Mom just suggested that I go to Wal-Mart to buy some Christmas paper. In one ear and out the other it seems. Wal-mart is front and foremost in my head right now!

Well, I didn't buy anything at Wal-Mart, if that makes you any happier.

Do you live like a monk, Ffynnon? Only eat untreated river water that has been blessed by a shaman and bread that has been lovingly made my bakers with Phd's in International relations? Or, oh, I dunno, work in one of the most evil, mind stultifying industries on the planet? :)

Wow, it took me 3 times re-reading that post to pick up on "Wal-mart". I'm assuming that's bait? ;) Or have you cashed in your morals for LOW LOW PRICES!!! That bouncing ball is hypnotic--don't fall under his spell.

Gimme some of that sweet Anita Mcnaught plastic love!

Oh, I think you and I can both think of some BBC anchors that would make nice "action figures". Perhaps packaged together for fun?

;)

Almost as bad is the "Crocodile Hunter" action figure, and the Metallica figures. However, there was a "Eddie" from Iron Maiden dressed in his red-coated best, and I have to admit that one was pretty cool.
