I feel a song coming on...Al Green is singing it too, in fact.
"Stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick...let's stick together...lovin' you whether, wheth-eh-ererer, times are good or bad, happy or sad..."
Followed by a rousing chorus of "Kumbaya". :)
If every active FReeper made an attempt to do only a half hour of research each week, we would overwhelm the research capability of every news organization.
I realize I have been remiss in doing so, mostly using FR for my own selfish news knowledge. I've made a few contributions over the years, (and one even made it prominently to Limbaugh, etc.) but I've not made any persistent effort.
The efforts of FReeper rightcoast discovering Clarke's non-testimony in 1999 (

is one recent example of how such research effort can make a difference. We had many examples before and after the B.A.S.H. last year, and during the many KlinToon scandals. The world really needs us now, as does the administration, and our country.
If each of us does only a little and posts ONLY when we find something of real merit (such as the above) we will truly smash the lamestream mediots influence. Most of our research time will not produce anything useful, but occasionally we will dig up something worth posting.
