This Week in Google Alerts: Home Fires

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Is a single North American currency such a right wing concept as all that?  Nobody calls one a Nazi for favouring European monetary union ? quite the opposite, if anything.  Personally, I don?t really care what currency I hold so long as it is hard and fungible.

I seem to recall a kerfuffle about some ethical philosophers promoting the concept of ?post natal abortions? quite recently...
