that the victims/areas of Hurricane Rita, have been pushed to the back burner and forgotten about? Being from Southwest Louisina, this has bothered me from the beginning.

Lake Charles, Cameron, Holly Beach, Beaumont, and so many others were hit extremely hard and the devisation is heartwrenching. But you don't hear anything on the news about the effect of Rita, only Katrina. I would think it being a major petrochemical refining center, that there would be more support and help. I just feel the victims from Rita, and even Wilma deserve more and shouldn't be treated like the redheaded stepchild and forgotten. Anyone else have feelings on it.

Would you refuse to purchase the product or be inclined not to buy the product because the commercial volume is so loud it is deafening at times?
I know there are TV's and products you can buy to stop it but should we have to shell out extra money to do this because an advertiser has some statistical data that says it is more effective?

Does anyone else feel that Superman is just a little bit over-rated?

MY thought is it could be possible... If the group was to contact all of the major media (NBC, ABC, CNN, etc.). What could the Gov do? They can't shoot or arrest everyone especially if it’s being broadcasted live all over the country. If there was an incident, everyone who didn't believe would get involved and could cause more problems. It would be in the Gov's best interest to resolve this without looking like the bad guy. It will be 60 years on July 2nd 2007 and how much longer can they hold out??? I hope that if everyone who really wants to know the TRUTH should consider what can be done to expose the facts. The Gov needs to be reminded who keeps this country running. I mean, Area 51 was build with our tax money... and its growing! Time to change the world! What do you think? WHAT ARE YOU GOING DO??? If theres a secret agenda do you want to find out when its too late, or would you rather be prepared for the future? Something is up and we have a right to know!

I personally enjoy Glenn Beck, but I'm just curious what other people think.

She's a reactionary has-been who doesn't represent the majority of people. Why don't you get Anderson Cooper or Al Gore to ask a feature question?

I saw the front page of a magazine and it said "George&Condi=Lovers"

I mean, that's gotta be the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

Who the hell would buy that kind of junk?

if I ask 3 people a question and they all say yes, I could report "100% of respondents agreed" - this would be totally misleading - however there is no system that I know of to sensor this either prior to airing/printing or after the fact in the form of heafty fines and imposing retractions. I think this should be done as a matter of urgency, and can be done fairly and in the interest of the public- basically a watchdog would have as it's mandate to make sure that the media alway provide the appropriate context from statistics - eg in my example there would be an obligation for the media to state "the respondents represents 0.000001% of the population" or something like that. Media self regulation obviously doesn't work.

I remember reading this some 30 years ago,but have never bumped into this information since that time.It was probably a brief mention in one of Mr. Anderson's own columns but any expansion would be greatly appreciated.
