When you say "a push" keep in mind you're talking about "nudging" a 417 metric ton (a bit under 1 million pounds on Earth) object that is constantly falling around the Earth at over 27,000 kph. The amount of energy and fuel needed to even push the ISS to a slightly higher orbit (Say 375km perigee instead of 355km) is more than you can physically store on the station, let alone the amount of lift you'd need to bring it up to the station itself. If you follow that along to the amount of force a bomb would need to "nudge" a bomb would give to the station, it would definitely nudge whatever is left into an extraorbital path, leaving the rest of the debris on unpredictable orbits around the Earth, crashing into satellites, spacecraft, astronauts, what have you.

As a celiac'er myself, I can say that's not true. I ate dirt, played in the mud, my mom was not overprotective, and I still got critical anemia from damage to my gut from gluten. Also, as noted below, celiac/gluten intolerance is not an allergy - it's an autoimmune disorder.

So by your reasoning, a terrorist is a revolutionary, and (at the risk of sounding jingoistic) the 9/11 attacks, Madrid bombings, London, Moscow, etc., were all on a par with Tienamen Square or any number of peaceful demonstrations for Tibet or human rights in general.

And are you seriously suggesting that the US at large is culpable for the actions of William Calley, Jesse England, and any other rapist, murderer, or degenerate who manages to make it into the uniformed service.

Careful using a broad brush when you paint your pictures, it smacks of an untrained eye and mind.

Now how come the print media hasn't taken on broadcast media over the now-ubiquitous "An article in today's says...", or even better, the roll-up segments of print articles, pieces, even cartoons! Flipped the other way, the print will do articles occaisionally on broadcast pieces. So really, a notable chunk of "work" done by both media is really just parroting the work of the other.

Of course, the question of fair use here is muddled by the fact that print and broadcast media are often arms of the same entity, so it can't really be "stealing". It's the Old Media taking care of itself.

What this all comes down to is that this is another in a series of death knells for the Old Media business model. All of these issues; Google News, Google Print, DRM, VOIP fees, blogs; are all just different faces on the same issue: The death of the Old Media business model. The writing has been on the wall for years now since the Internet started becoming the New Media: adapt or die. And rather than seek out and embrace revenue streams evolving from the New Media, they cling to feeble kludges of the Old, and when those start falling apart, they seek legal protection, often to the detriment of the New Media. The sooner the business and political world absorbs this fact the sooner they can move ahead to bigger and better things.
