Learn from the mistakes of others

for some time now, i have been exploring the role of media in wars.my interest is a little different from that of most propaganda analysts - i'm interested in whether, and how, media organisations are involved in propaganda that contributes to, or drives, the push towards war. put simply, i'm asking the question 'can media be held accountable if they incite hatred or violence or genocide or armed conflict'?

( beware, more where that came from ... )

if i ever get enough sleep i think i have some ideas about what i might use this journal for. might loose a few friends however. need somewhere to play out ideas for my thesis, you see.
won't stop me posting links to cute toons, wierd links or 'interesting' news articles. but i'm beginning to get a little more inspired to drift towards a more journalistic style. but only in my spare time.

i just realised how few cool mp3s i have. i've ripped most of the music on this pc from my cds, bizarre collection that i have. but i'm thinking i'd like something new, and interesting. perhaps even some odd stuff. any ideas how and where?
tried kazaa - the ads shit me - and hald the stuff is mislabelled crap. ditto for a few other mp3 'browsers' that i've tried. hours wading through lists and half the dls are crap or broken. not to mention the idiots who put files into password protected zip files, or change the file extensions so windows tried vaiantly to load them into some applicaiton or other - choking and killing my whole session.
