on As We Are: Child Free

It is interesting that there are those who claim to be environmentally sensitive are choosing to not have children but are choosing to have pet dogs.  How can one justify the tradeoff?  Dogs may have less environmental imact than a kid but there is still a significant impact.  It just seems like a contradiction to me.

on Bottling It Up in Cascade Locks

Oregonians are deparate for work.  We have a water resource that we can use to sustain employment for people in our community.  There are some of those who are opposed who have a self-righteous and elitist attitude to those in our community who are without employment.  We have over 12% unemployment in this state?  What is the impact of poverty in this state on the environment and on people's lives?  Does keeping people in poverty promote a sustainability?

Incredibly crass and tasteless comment by the host.  She should lay off her attempts at humor and focus more on a professional production.

on Black and White and Googled All Over

What has been left out of the debate is the democratic form of the print version of the news.  It is very cheap and easily accessed by those people who can't afford internet access.  Also our older generations aren't comfortable with reading on-line.  It is sad that there are those who would so cavalierly do away with this form.

Do newspapers need to change their business model?  Do they need to be beholden to Wall Street?  Why not go to a privately, employee owned model so they don't have to make the profit margins dictated by share holders?
