ParticipantProgressive values superior? Only off and on they are right.
One side does it to unborn children and another does it to gays.
The biggest difference between the Left and Right is when they choose to turn off their empathy. Fundamentally they are the same.
ParticipantRegarding the Prop 8 ruling a yahoo commenter said it nicely.
“I also find it ironic people are crying about the fact their rights are being violated, when the very thing being revoked was taking away peoples rights. Seriously pull your heads out of your @#$%, gay people are not affecting you at all unless they are personally coming to your door and asking you to be gay.”

It would appear that, to the media, Alan Greenspan has no shelf date. As long as the mass media offers Greenspan a soapbox, a large percentage of the citizenry will assume that what’s coming out of his mouth is believeable. Sad, but oh, so true.
I’m not sure who is charged with finding and booking “experts” to appear on televised news media, but I would be willing to bet that it’s the unpaid 20 year-old intern.
What was NBC thinking? (Of course, that, in itself, is a broad assumption on my part) You have the guy who is considered to be responsible in large part for the financial mess……on your well-respected, widely-viewed Sunday morning news show to ask him about our current and future financial health??? Really? There wasn’t another economist, financial journalist, or econ professor available? Maybe if Greenspan would have been one of 3 or 4 economists on a panel, or if they had had Greenspan interviewed by a hard-hitting financial journalist (no, not Jim Cramer. Someone who actually knows something about finance.)
No, so long as the mainstream media (and, yes, I am including Fox News in this group) continue to book these leeches, advertise their appearances heavily, and lob softball questions at them, people in America will take it for granted that they’re experts, and worth listening to. It’s so much easier doing that than reading a number of sources, weighing the content of each against the other, and coming up with one’s own thoughts and opinions.[/quote]
It’s funny, or maybe not, how many times I repeat myself “….the people who saw it coming..” Sigh.

ParticipantI hear your rant about people not participating in democracy. If you think the silent majority will ever become anything other than silent then you are in for a heartbreak.
I imagine that most of the Piggs would stick up for other Piggs (correct me if I’m wrong) because they think alike. They want to get ahead. They have also given up on those that are complacent.
The real fight is not running around with a banner, it is getting the correct information. This is where the Piggs have it right.
You want to make a difference? Then bombard the media with emails demanding an easy to follow map of the political money, or something like it. But so far any suggestion that I have made to that effect has only ( including here ) been met with crickets chirping.ParticipantI hear your rant about people not participating in democracy.
