Did anyone notice that the transnational corporation that owns Time has suffered record losses - not just by it's own standards, but by anybody's standards.

As their company spirals ever downward it has become the mantra to chant that their high-tech component called AOL is the cause of all failures.

It is not surprising to see this mantra expanded by clueless "newsies" at Time/Life/CNN/Netscape/Atlanta Braves/AOL/etc. to cover the Space Shuttle or any other complex and advanced process.

It will be so good for America when the whole company goes bust and the assets are transferred to more deserving and honest owners.

Luddites will never understand science and technology, because it requires them to use reason, and emotion is all they have got.

Aren't these the guys whose business acumen is such that they managed to LOSE 100 BILLION dollars? I'd think it reasonable to question ANY judgement---editorial or otherwise---of such a monumentally inept organization. Their record in business rivals that of government (look at the businesses they monopolize: space, the mail, welfare, versus those we are fortuntate government does NOT monopolize, like computing, automobiles, package delivery.)
