I haven't had time to really follow CTRL in detail lately, but I would
like to clarify a few things. First, I agree with nessie about
'manners' - manners are simply making all people feel comfortable, it is
about being polite. Those are old fashioned words in our society -
manners and being polite. What is wrong with that? Nothing. It is
just respecting other people from other cultures. For people to get
along, you have to be able to some common ground.
Another point is that somebody thanked me for 'supporting' them on this
thread. I was writing from what was in my heart, and what I wrote was
my personal opinion about how media, although I believe in freedom of
speech, can sometimes cross the boundary of what is necessary in terms
of getting a point across. I was attempting to debate here the good,
the bad, and the ugly in media reporting. I was not 'supporting' any
other person's position.
In addition, I found the comment that perhaps 'reptiles' ate the two
school girls who were kidnapped, raped and tortured to death appalling.
Sorry, I failed to see the humour in that comment. Or, if the poster was
serious, perhaps they should look at life and realize that humans are
capable of the most atrocious activities. Blaming the most horrendous
of human actions on 'reptilans' is an easy way out for absolving the
darker side of humans.
So! 1. I think communities need to know what is happening and it is
vitally important to have a free press, or media, to monitor happenings
for us.
2. Good taste doesn't cost anything and by that I mean, is it truly
necessary in the interest of justice to have the videotapes of two young
girls murdered in the most horrendous of ways, aired on TV?
What I failed to mention in my previous post on this issue, is that,
although the judge banned the airing of the videos of the girls rape and
torture, he allowed the 'sound' to be heard by all: so the girls
pleading for their lives is now public, along with young Leslie, who
asked that she be allowed to live long enough so she could say goodbye
to her 10-year-old brother.
I don't know the answers to huge questions either, but in this
particular case, I am at least glad that, in general, the judge buried
the videotapes with the girls.
It was the decent thing to do.

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds�is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
