As for Joichi's message quoted above, he should hope to hell that he wakes up and realizes that not even in Japan can journalists--which is what I thought he once was, or claimed to be--serve on Ministry committees to decide how citizen-units may communicate!
Any journalist in Europe or in the U.S. would be seen as having irreparably compromised his journalistic objectivity by serving on such a panel! And properly so, of course.
As long as they were representing their personal opinions and not acting as a journalist (ie being paid by a 3rd party) and they disclose the action there would be compromise on objectivity. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | Participation requires more than just bitching! | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
