From analysis to reporting to final conclusion is worthless when attached to an agenda of making sure what's most important is skirted. How can you, still, after all but eight years of Bush's abusive gov't not include America's compliance in its failure?

Salon has so failed in its political coverage that I'm beginning to read these stories for laughs.

In fact, the cluelessness of a self appointed intelligentsia would always be amusing if not for the obvious destruction of a vital part of the world getting masked over. Tommorow, I bet you!, Joan Walsh will be shilling for GE telling us to "meet" her on Hardball to debate with some whacko from the "Right" as if doing so is indicative of any issue to any degree. She'll in fact do so after repeatedly being called out for such sad attempts at talent being misused! Do you guys lack the ability to make a buck that badly that all of your efforts end up adding to communication that can at best be seen as tabloid?

Here, in this instance, we have detail after detail presented without proper context. The fact of the matter is, no, the simple!, fact of the matter is that we've morphed as a society into Orwell's nightmare. There aren't a multiple set of conflicts. There is the one spiraling out of control part of the world motivated SOLELY by America's inability to control itself, to be responsible with its power. Any thought of this country not adding to terror is shredded by poppies, bombs thrown at PMs, Syrian opportunism, and, most of all, Kurdish promise. (What a joke!)

Yet, this entire country sits by looking for another sub-prime solution at best. A Blackwater type of operation perhaps will catch Osama at the eleventh hour and the show will end...good once again triumphs over evil...and, guess what? Global Warming's going down the same way. There is no war in the Middle East, Juan. There's simply these strokes to your ego your reporting provides man. Stop bothering the people with dangers that can't possibly exist if you're going to do everything but mention them.

Plus, people already know how this War's going to end...the man has told them so, you see.

Get a real job, Juan. Read Naomi Wolf's latest book, Juan. Being seen as a terrorist is what's bound to happen to one of you smart mouths and you don't want it to be you. I bet, though, when that happens you'll state the important facts then!

Please stop this weak reporting!!!

Step up and be a man damnit!!!

Step up damnit!!!

Step up!!!

Look, I haven't read but 1/10 of a Potter novel, and only that in an attempt to teach myself Spanish. Nonetheless, I'm drawn to this series. It has a vibe both positive and encompassing that from what I can tell uses youth to deliver fantasy. From there you break into the core of things with innocence, energy. Children the world over are drawn to Potter for that reason, I think, and I'm hoping like hell they use Rowling's work as a way to see the world.

Heaven knows we've got to get the planet people that comprehend perspectives that bind for the better.

If Rowling has struck such a chord let her follow it to its end. Let her preach, even. Definitely let her work with the relationships she's established.

She's not an author anymore. She's a literary figure. A real life conjurer whose main work may just be beginning. An either/or framework shouldn't even be a concern since that's the case. I hope when she's seen walking down streets letters of the alphabet are seen falling out of her purse. I hope we find out she's got greater than average skills with a Ouija board. I hope those things almost as much as having it turn out that children familiar with her work breath a language of spiritual dynamics as adults that respect life's challenges.

I believe Rowling will end up bringing a richer set of experiences yet if that's the case.

But this was a great story, though. Even though I disagree with its premise I was glad its topic made these pages, for sure.

Thanks!

Excuse me, please check the archaeological records. Neanderthals are the first species to practice the ritual of burial. Their world view was abstract in other words and made room for compassion.

Current Republicans?

Not so much!
