Some people actually would like to come home and do a chore or two at night. Maybe go outside and throw the ball around with your kid. I think if you're an outdoor person, you love daylights saving time. If you don't like the outdoors, you probably hate it. Daylight savings is also better for your health. A study not to long ago found that less daylight in our life causes cancer by our bodies creating less Vitamin D. If you're in an office all day and then come out and it's dark, obviously your body isn't creating the vitamin D from the sun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744480324721705829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3177611383250108270.post-72128620057255559422010-04-04T18:04:09.159-07:002010-04-04T18:04:09.159-07:00Exactly, Jones?

In one breath you lament the "unprofitable mass transit" in another you slam "deeply ingrained prejudice for independence". Let's clear the fog...mass transit in the big city is not a train ride from one city to another. Also, If you were not another misguided American you would not slam INDEPENDENCE. Independent thinking and living is what keeps us from sliding further LEFT.

But doesn't it seem that nowadays papers are less about unbiased protection of the truth and more about political spin. The Globe News Editorial page devotes considerably more of its space to Conservative views. One need only look at the list of regular syndicated columns published in your paper to know this is true. <BR/><BR/>I am not speaking of your paper as an anomaly but rather as the current norm. Determining a publications bias, whatever it might be, has become a pressing concern for everyone. As a medium to purvey truth, journalism is no longer the respected form it once was, or should I say was once perceived to be. <BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, I do believe that many journalists attempt to report the news accurately without bias. Those individuals no longer command readership, or viewership however. The strident voice of bias has become the norm. I think it unlikely that the brainwashed masses will wean themselves off of the Limbaughs, and Hannitys long enough to pay much attention to those who accurately report. <BR/><BR/>Sad as it seems, we may be heading for a world where sorting out truth becomes impossible. Take note of the recent campaign to discredit a president who has only occupied the office for ten weeks. Any honest reporting of Obama's presidency is lost behind a wall of hateful noise. Self proclaimed journalists are instead nothing but politcal shills. Might as well climb down from your pedestal of truth and join the rest of us squirming about in the mire.lequinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145458847381159360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3177611383250108270.post-76729980800957582342009-03-26T10:44:00.000-07:002009-03-26T10:44:00.000-07:00Never run out of bourbon.
