What does this section have to do with investigation? Nothing! However, I am persuaded that to use a Web Site solely to promote interest in a commercial endeavor, is to squander and misuse its true potential. Today, the primary use for Web Sites is to promote commerce. Almost as an inducement to allowing ones self to be totally immersed in advertising, Web Sites act as a huge and very useful, library. I see an additional, perhaps more important use for this new plaything.  It  permits me and all who operate Web Sites, to enter a domain that has, until recently been the exclusive province of  what we call "The Media". 

I now have at my fingertips a power that I never had before -- a device that permits me to publish editorials, write letters to the editor that will get published, re-print works deserving of reprint and when appropriate, expose the omissions, half-truths and outright lies routinely promulgated by all sections of "The Media". I intend to use this section toward that end.

Hopefully, others will follow suit, and by their combined voices, force an end to incompetence, bias and deceit in the media. Along the way, I hope to promote a little common sense in our society. Charlton Heston's Speech at Harvard is a first step in that direction.
