I actually thought that her insanity made Janeway more interesting. Watching through the series again, in order, and in a relatively short period of time you really do get the sense that by season 4 Janeway is shifting her moral compass markedly. By season 7 she has obviously all sense of objectivity, makes dreadful and borderline evil command decisions, and should have been court martialed upon her return to Earth. The big shame there is that this was a golden opportunity for Chakotay to show some growth and confront her in a meaningful way (which they almost try to do once or twice, but then back away from actual interesting development there). Instead they basically abandon his character to his blandness.

Submission + - Global warming 'undeniable,' report says (www.cbc.ca) 1

BergZ writes: Scientists from around the world are providing even more evidence of global warming.
"A comprehensive review of key climate indicators confirms the world is warming and the past decade was the warmest on record," the annual State of the Climate report declares.
Compiled by more than 300 scientists from 48 countries, including Canada, the report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said its analysis of 10 indicators that are "clearly and directly related to surface temperatures, all tell the same story: Global warming is undeniable."

Voting on facts doesn't change whether they're true or not, regardless of what the majority chooses.

Third world countries don't have any greater chance of the stupid dying while the smart live and outbreed them. Entirely the opposite is universally observable. In all countries, but in third world ones even more.

Yes, yes they are. My old school has a few electronic media degrees. Once upon a time, this meant we had a great radio broadcast program, and a frequency to go with it. The school had an actual broadcast studio on par with many of the local for profit stations in terms of equipment. They even had a separate recording studio set up for interviews and production material, or just so one person could be broadcasting live and others could still learn in the secondary studio. Now the school doesn't have that frequency. They weren't technically allowed to sell the frequency, because it was licensed for educational use, but they've rented it out for an unspecified number of years (the speculation is that its gone for at least 20 years). So yes, schools will whore out their frequencies, to the detriment of students.
