The political detail 4:02pm on 15 Sep 2009 OK, raising taxes in 1981; How did it turn out?

I guess that's the point you're making though
A memorable moment 4:49pm on 07 Jul 2009 Rule of thirds? Rules aren't there to be slavishly followed they are there as a guide. Personally I thinks the picture works very well indeed, its a record of an unusual situation and the runner seems to act like the pivot point in a balance. Using the rule of thirds would have produced an inferior picture.
Not so stressed 4:38pm on 07 May 2009 Phew, that's a big relief!
Radiohead, Zimbabwe and the spirit of '68 6:26pm on 25 Jun 2008 Why should anyone want to boycott "Made in Israel" goods and not even consider boycotting "Made in EU" or "Made in USA" goods? The problem we have is that, to a large extent, the information we receive about most situations is so limited and (often skewed) that it is impossible to come to a decision about the "correct" course of action. For example, I regard myself as being very well informed generally but I am not confident that I could explain all the rights and wrongs of Zimbabwe. I do of course know evil things are happening.
As regards boycotting EU or USA goods, is it not the case that unfair terms of trade are, at least partly, causing the impoverishment of relatively poorer countries?
See the problem, who can tell us the answer?
1968: "The Doors" mistaken for political extremists 3:16pm on 28 May 2008 I smell the stench of antisemitism in comment Number 2 by NortonGriffiths.
