Wind energy produces far less pollution then those alternatives and outages due to wind shortages are not a problem even when 1/3 of the energy is produced by wind.

Even solar prices, (the most costly option) have come down to a point that I can install my own system on my roof and go off the grid without any subsidies whatsoever and have my system paid for in about 12 years.

They are more concerned about sharing music, anonymous and wikileaks then child porn or credit card fraud.

You think DHS is bad, the NSA is monitoring WAY more then just social media, they routinely monitor phone calls, chats and private email, looking for keywords like "president" and "accident". The information they gather is sometimes shared with American owned business to give them an economic advantage.

No it is not wrong. With comprehensive sex education, free access to condoms, free birth control (including abortion) and supportive parents to deal with the almost inevitable heartbreaks. less harm will come to those teenagers then if we forbid all these things.

Israel is a state founded by illegal and religious immigrants, who want to steal even more land. Why would any one want to favour Judaism over Islam, or Islam over Judaism? It is time Israel abides by the UN resolutions and make sure that their neighbouring states are viable and prosperous in order to ensure a lasting peace.

The state of Israel was proclaimed by the Jewish leader, David Ben Gurion, on May 14, 1948, and officially came into being on the 15th, after British Mandatory rule ended at midnight. In many minds, the birth of Israel is closely identified with the Nazi terror in Europe and the Holocaust, but in fact the conception of and planning for a Jewish state had begun some 60 years earlier. -- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/events/israel_at_50/history/78597.stm

Religious institutions who deny health care to their employees based on religious doctrine should not be allowed to be tax exempt nor receive government funding.

They shouldn't be allowed to either. Again the media has a role to play and check their statements for accuracy without bias, then leave it up to the voters to deal with punishment at the voting booth.

In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States.

Back in December of 1996, Jane Akre and her husband, Steve Wilson, were hired by FOX as a part of the Fox ?Investigators? team at WTVT in Tampa Bay, Florida. In 1997 the team began work on a story about bovine growth hormone (BGH), a controversial substance manufactured by Monsanto Corporation. The couple produced a four-part series revealing that there were many health risks related to BGH and that Florida supermarket chains did little to avoid selling milk from cows treated with the hormone, despite assuring customers otherwise.

According to Akre and Wilson, the station was initially very excited about the series. But within a week, Fox executives and their attorneys wanted the reporters to use statements from Monsanto representatives that the reporters knew were false and to make other revisions to the story that were in direct conflict with the facts. Fox editors then tried to force Akre and Wilson to continue to produce the distorted story. When they refused and threatened to report Fox's actions to the FCC, they were both fired.(Project Censored #12 1997)

The media should not be allowed to knowingly lie, proving they knew it was lie will be extremely difficult without whistle-blowers.
