Chicago used to have THREE papers, and I still miss the Daily News. Cleveland used to have two papers. DC used to have two papers, and the Post will NEVER replace teh Star (the Times isn't a newspaper, just an outlet for Sun Myung Moon). Even Pocatello used to have two papers.

Fer crissakes! You need to read not just BOTH sides of an issue, but ALL sides of an issue! Get thee down to your local library and read some (gasp!) books on the subject you're interested in! Do some research! Danged little comes as a surprise -- there's always something leading up to it, and somebody has probably written something about it. THEN check out the Internet -- AFTER, not before, you research something in print because (yeah, it's heresy -- make the most of it) the Internet, well, it's filled with untruths, partial truths, and outright lies!

THEN make up your mind.

But you might want to do this before libraries vanish away in the siren song of "we don't need them, we have the Internet".

Of course, this IS work and it takes longer than 15 seconds.
