In recent news- there is no recent news!
I know it's been a week since I posted, but I'm at home slacking off for that week... However, in a preview;
my next long post will be about Rights vs. Duty. I'm hoping for an interesting discussion on this one!
In the mean time I thought I'd post a few quickies and a few links to some of the publications I read in case you are interested in seeing where I learn about recent issues.
First, from Sept. 2009 Car and Driver (written in by Thatcher Richins):
There was this company
of freeboaters,
Who called themselves General Motors,
Bankruptcy they found,
Hell they are bound,
And they remain a bunch
of gloaters.
Pretty great, eh? Now for some links
Politico- a website that features exclusively political articles. Some are good, some are obviously pandering, and ALL of the comments are posted by clinically insane conspiracy theorists. http://www.politico.com/
The New Republic- same as above. The one difference is that TNR has articles from all sorts of lobbyists that range from mildly interesting to positively outrageous.
http://www.tnr.com/
Pro Publica- "journalism in the public interest" is a news outlet for and about government watchdogs. Some very good articles and pertinent information that most 'mainstream media' won't cover.
http://www.propublica.org/
Ars Technica- This is a website that caters to computer nerds, but they go beyond posting the latest technical advances- they also write about laws, treaties, impact of certain types of technology on society, and legal issues in the tech community. The articles are always interesting and well written.
http://arstechnica.com/
There are many more, but I'll save them for later. In the meantime, enjoy!
