   BBC is pretty good, as well as NPR. News companies are mostly collapsing. The only viable way to keep in private hands might be the Guardian model, of a trust established in it's name. Bozo could certainly afford to do that for the Was

    So basically, you're admitting that it is a ponzi scheme. That "everyone's quality of life" is dependent on an ever increasing population. And, 8 billion people isn't enough? What about 10 billion? 12 billion? Every

    I think your statements about average age and number of users is probably correct. I would say this is another indication of how people who grew up with the internet, and who generally base their "community" and "friends&quot
