I valued the <globalnews> posts so much that I subscribed - on my other computer, on campus, where I have to teach World Geography. I don't see them as being "political" any more than AP or CNN are in their own ways, but as offering alternative viewpoints and covering stories and asking questions outside the mainstream. Nevertheless, I never get around to reading half of them, and sometimes I worry that they do arouse in me too much of a sense of what and who are WRONG with the world. And although Jane rightly suggests we use them to focus our prayers and projections of peace, I often find myself feeling powerless and hopeless.
