Who decides which brutal murders are newsworthy and deserve media attention and which aren't? Who is the decider here and why? That probably depends on location. Any murder where I live would get massive press attention because they are so few and far between - I think there have been 2 in the 12 years I've been here. In a more urban setting where murder is more commonplace most of them probably only receive local coverage and there would have to be something unusual about them to get more than passing coverage....

Is there any Airline operating out of the UK that has low cost taxes & charges? You can often avoid the tax if you book far enough in advance, just check out a few dates with Jet 2, Easyjet and Ryanair to see which are cheaper. Virtually all short to medium haul flights no longer include a meal or an in-flight film - they will try to sell you a meal and they will probably offer to rent you a media player to watch a film. They will also try to get you to pre-book a seat...

Are all elections for sale to the highest bidder? Any exceptions? Elections are only on sale to the highest bidder if a majority of the voters allow themselves to be influenced by the spin paid for by the highest bidder. The problem isn't so much that elections are for sale, but that too many voters buy the cr*p that is fed to them in adverts, instead of thinking things through for themselves.

Do you believe George Zimmerman should go to prison? I haven't heard all the evidence, so I'm in no position to say.

Answer to:
After viewing the video of Zimmerman, in police custody, can someone tell me, WHERE IS THE WEAPON USED IN THE SHOOTING?!? WHERE IS THE GUN? I would have thought a more important question would be, "Where was the evidence of the back of his head being beaten against the floor and where was the evidence of a broken nose?" I didn't see the slightest sign of any blood. As to where the gun was, it's absolutely irrelevant because there is no dispute about who shot who.

Do you know about "jury nullification"? Should all Americans know they have this option when serving on a jury? It sounds like deliberately going against the weight of evidence to me - "We are convinced you did it but we are going to let you off because we like you or don't like the law." I think the practice should be banned.
