Journalists’ tears replaced by anger - FT.com

We will obviously see this play out in the future press as wickedness spawns more wickedness! Murdoch is doomed to pay a very high price for such infamy along with those who knew what low hand and illegal tricks were being played on an unsuspecting public!

The Murdoch empire at bay: Digger in a hole - FT.com

It is a puzzle!

But, having heard and read reams of stuff about how immoral News of the World had become, I see hypocrisy throughout.

I put it down to the post Solviet period or post cold war period in which people let their standards drop. It was a period similar to that after the First World War.

Be warned that such letting down of the social fabric of society results in ..... Worse!

J.K. Rowling is just fabulous

I can't believe my autocorrection would change JK Rowling's name! It was not to Harry! JKR has revolutionized the reading world and set in motion the technologies and laws to the many freedoms we authors need to protect.

The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader.
