OPINION
French religious
laws at odds with culture
Equal opportunity and security have increasingly become
a considerable part of political platforms, and the United States isn't
the only nation carrying these two issues on a pair of Libra-like shoulders.
The Libra sign is considered the most capable of putting itself in another's
shoes to make an objective judgement. The French government tried to pass
a law decreeing that no noticeable religious symbols were to be worn in
school. No crosses, no yamikas, no veils, rien.
FCC must keep Clear Channel in
check
The Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday proposed
to Clear Channel Communications $755,000 for putting indecent material
on the air. Normally I'm all for a blow to the media giant, but for indecency,
and only $755,000? Clear Channel's reported net revenue for nine months
ending Sept 30, 2003 was $6.64 billion. This reminds me of Al Capone's
arrest and imprisonment for tax fraud -- the charges miss the larger picture.
