breif descriptions of some of the presentations featured at The NewsKing.com
Archive...
Dangerous Profits: Energy, Economics, Environment - The risks
posed by pollution and global warming make dependence on dangerous and expensive
sources of energy a significant factor in decisions related to global energy
production. But these decisions appear to be related to foreign policy,
which frequently ignores such risks. Various interests may favor dangerous
and expensive sources of energy for reasons that may include a larger stake
in matters related to global energy production, including economic matters. |

| Copyright
Law & Social Change - The anti-sharing movement is about more than
just copyright law, although recent efforts to frighten and punish people
who download music and films have drawn the most attention in the campaign
to prevent people from sharing anything from music to food. There has been
a barrage of legislation proposed that unfairly favors the music and film
industry, and some of it, like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, has
even passed. Unfortunately, most of the legislation proposed advocates the
use of social capitalism to suppress market change, and reflects errors
in economic theory, as well as underlying flaws in social and political
theory. |
| Exploring
Legalized Marijuana - For those who are currently following the
marijuana legalization debate, the question isn't about whether or
not to legalize, but at what doses and quantities, and with what accompanying
regulation. Most of the studies and research lead to the conclusion
that marijuana consumption does not lead to social problems under
most conditions, and that most individuals do not experience problems
under most conditions of marijuana consumption. |

The
Struggle for Equality: Economics, Politics, & Education - The current
debate involving school privatization and vouchers is just the latest example
of the misguided use of faulty economic theories in political matters. Why
are privatization and school vouchers seen as solutions to problems in public
schools, despite the fact that current trends in such programs endanger
the educational resources of the poor and minorities? |
| The
Corporate Tax: ATM Fees & Other Charges - When most people
think of a "corporate tax," they think of the taxes the
government charges to corporations for the debt owed to the society
in which the corporation does business. [...] [But] [o]ne of the most
controversial, underhanded, and unfair ["taxes"] currently
outraging many people is the ATM fees charged to consumers. |

Signs,
Signs, & Everywhere Signs: Warning About Violence, Sex, & Television
- Violence and sexual images on television, and the influence of television
in general, has become a growing issue all over the world. The proposal
featured in this presentation does not attempt to ban any type of programming,
nor does it seek to accuse anyone of wrongdoing. Free expression must be
highly valued and appreciated. It is hoped that these problems can be addressed
through increased knowledge and understanding, brought about through the
sharing of information. |
