Bush blocks deal allowing cheap drugs for world's poor
What really galls me in the war debate is that US.gov just refuse to evn try to go for the moral high ground. I'd respect the US's disarming stance if they weren't planning to go hell for leather for all types of new WMDs and at least had some compassion for the people of the world. This is why anti US terrorism has burgeoned.
Bush is meant to be a Xtian be he is obviously the kind of Apocalyptic, gay burning, white man's burden fundamentalist Xtian, rather than the sort that follows the rather basic 'love thy neighbor as thyself' tenet.

Sorry to aid in the unseriousizing of this thread that began quite seriously. But I agree wholeheartedly Ed. One thing that really irks me about this whole Push-for-"War" thing (although I refuse to call it "War", 'cause what it really is is AN INVASION) is the absurd inconsistency of American foreign policy at this point. In press, claiming to be "concerned with the rights of women in the Middle East", while destroying feminist-rights initiatives on the home-front, etc.

Still, there’s the question of who will actually “see your advertising,” given that it’s now easier than ever to tune that advertising out. Television executives like Mr. Poltrack are spending a whole lot of time studying that.Some findings are counterintuitive. For instance, Mr. Poltrack said, two-thirds of viewers watch with a second screen either in their hands or on their lap. Yet those screens can be so distracting that their users forget to fast-forward past the ads in recorded shows. It turns out viewers are overwhelmingly absorbing the messages coming from the TV even as they stare at the other devices, Mr. Poltrack said.

this industry needs to die
