It's a tale of two cities. Or at least two governments. On one hand, you have the Philadelphia Parking Authority. The agency is considering a high-tech system that would help find a place to park in center city. Sensors would be installed in parking spaces and linked with a constantly updated website. Drivers could access the site via their cell phone or PDA. On the other hand, you have the Philadelphia City Commissioners. The group responsible for overseeing our elections claims it can't make returns available to the general public. Currently, election results are posted online but placed behind a firewall. A small group of media outlets and connected insiders get passwords to access the results. According to the Commissioners, the system would crash if it was made available to everyone. Does anyone else see some irony in this juxtaposition? We have the technology to monitor every single parking space in center city butcan't figure out a way to put some spreadsheets online. I suspect that the website for parking spaces will be a lot more popular than election results, but that misses the point. Citizens should have access to as much information as possible regarding elections. After all, Democracy is pretty much meaningless without tools for participation. If we've got the ability to put parking spaces online, why can't we do something as fundamental as put election returns on the web? I'm not the only person who thinks so. Dan UA ov ...

The decline of newspapers is not about the replacement of the antiquated technology of newsprint with the lightning speed of the Internet. It does not signal an inevitable and salutary change. It is not a form of progress. The decline of newspapers is about the rise of the corporate state, the loss of civic and public responsibility on the part of much of our entrepreneurial class and the intellectual poverty of our post-literate world, a world where information is conveyed primarily through rapidly moving images rather than print. All these forces have combined to strangle newspapers. And the blood on the floor, this year alone, is disheartening. Some 6,000 journalists nationwide have lost their jobs, news pages are being radically cut back and newspaper stocks have tumbled. Advertising revenues are dramatically falling off with many papers seeing double-digit drops. McClatchy Co., publisher of the Miami Herald, has seen its shares fall by 77 percent this year. Lee Enterprises Inc., which owns the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, is down 84 percent. Gannett Co., which publishes USA Today, is trading at nearly a 17-year low. The San Francisco Chronicle is now losing $1 million a week. The Internet will not save newspapers. Although… ... Source: www.thaindian.com --- 22 hours ago

clipped by: Johanna_G clipper's remarks: Original in deutscher Sprache Clip Source: www.qantara.de Mohammad Shabestari has been teaching Islamic philosophy at the University of Tehran since 1985. He is noted for his comments on the essentially limited nature of religious knowledge and rules Revolution was a problem child for us, a child with many defects, who caused us a great deal of trouble and misery in the course of its growing up. religion can become a moral force exerting influence on politics, but when religious and political institutions, such as governments, are put on the same level, or when statements such as: our politics are our religion and our religion is our politics are used; that is not acceptable. Those involved in politics are fallible human beings, irrespective of whether they are speaking in a religious context or not. These experiences have shown that one cannot apply the same standards to the religious discussion as to political problems, they are different and require to be dealt with as such – that means that religion and politics must be separated.
