Looks like they concluded that wetter snow was a key morbidity variable.

I'd love to see and read a book compiling some of what they felt were the best answers to these questions!

Paul, this is one of my favorite plays. I think you would enjoy Ionesco's work, such as Waiting for Godot, The Bald Soprano and Rhinoceros as well.

Great stuff.

Why is a cat's paw like a question mark?

I'd love to see a list of those who received the fellowships and what they are doing now.

The brightest and the finest.

Oranges in Iceland? Ireland?

But point well taken.

Paul,

Might those unnamed "other sectors of the economy" referred to in your original post be the financial sector?

This was a very good article. Reminded me of former advertising executive Jerry Mander's pathbreaking book Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television and its even better sequel, In the Absence of the Sacred.

I threw away my television eight years ago this month. Life is much better now, as the author suggests.

I heard a saying today. It was, "America is the exact opposite of the Balkans. Nobody remembers anything."

As the author of this piece points out a lot of that has to do with how many of us are swimming in a sea of HYPERcommercialized media, consisting of millions of completely unrelated advertising message fragments.

This has obliterated our memory and collapsed our attention span.

In an age of Twitter Twitter, no one has time for a sound bite sound bite, what comes next?

This is the last time I will listen to the programme. This "extreme center" gibberish persona taken on by the moderator is the reason why.

This "exttreme center" is nothing more than jihadi free market failed billionaire handout hooey that dominates US political discourse today.

A financial transactions tax of 10 cents on every HUNDRED dollars would raise 600 BILLION annually for the Federal government.

But Democrats and Republicans and jihadi "centrists" won't even discuss it.

Because they are just servile lapdogs to the billionaires.

Unfortunately, yes they must Paul. They live in the USA and their televisions command them to do precisely this.
