response to Daniel Brook's post The Mormons Are Coming!
I just lost all respect for your magazine if you think this is GOOD. Did the author ever stop to think why the missionaries are almost all white male? Or bother to ask anyone? No, because this is not good journalism. Maybe the fact that they are mostly white males has something to do with the fact that Mormons forbid intermarrying amongst races and until recently shunned all non-white people (http://www.lds-mormon.com/racism.shtml). You may say that this isn't true today, but doesn't that hurt the church even more if they hold doctrine so valuable and strict, but feel they can change it whenever the need arises so they can fit into mainstream society? This religion, like many others has its own agenda and does not deserve to be labeled as GOOD.

Media
response to Iris Ichishita, Lindsay Utz, Morgan Currie, Favio Claure, Patrick James, Michael Fitz, Leah Nathan, Jared Lebel, Stephanie Winkler, Seth Moherman, Don C, Robin Lynn, Erin Bosworth, , and Brian David Lazarte's post Al Jazeera English: The Image Problem
Al Jazeera is a well respected news agency in most of the world that reports things as they see them, it wouldn't hurt most Americans to take a look at how we are viewed by people in other countries.
And why are people in the US biased against AJ? Because Al Qaeda chooses to send their videos to them...and they air them? I suppose CNN or BBC would just throw them away if Al Qaeda decided to send them their way? If this is the reason why people in the US hate them maybe we should all start hating NBC for airing videos of the psychopath at Virgina Tech, after all that's exactly what he wanted.

If people aren't actually seeing a cost savings in their bills as someone mentioned here doesn't that mean that the bulbs aren't actually saving electricity? Although I know nothing about them, LEDs already sound like a better alternative.
