At Reporting-Ethics we do not think it is acceptable for the stunt radio host Don Imus pulled. For it is very unacceptable and should not be allowed to happen.
There is in Reporting-Ethics, an un written rule that an individual should be held responsible for their actions. This includes with an individual misusing their rights according to first constituational rights. But they still need to remain accountable and/or taken off of the airwaves.
After listening to several other radio talk shows covering this incident, sure the individuals involved should just realize there was a mistake made and move on. But if nothing is done for the individual, (Imus) then no body will learn from his mistake.
It is not only the Reporting-Ethics Republicans who think this way. On the Internet, I ran across the article, "MSNBC Drops Imus Simulcast Amid Furor". He did it to himself and should pay the price.

Transforming plastic to corn bags
I like the idea of the campaign to illegalize the use of plastic bags and in their place use bags made of corn. This is something in which should have been done years ago. The way they do it now is a total waste.
The plastic used is all a petroleum product and can not biologically break down. When instead it could be put to use for other good purposes. This is something that could be done to help out the economy and/or the environment. In the process doing something that would help out the situation and others would benefit.
Sure to make this change, it would initially cost the retailer a couple of more cents a bag. But as the use continues to increase so will this price will decrease. All of which will be governed by what the supply and demand issue will dictate.
The only disadvantage of using corn instead of plastic bags will be its impact on a number of future markets values. This will be an increase to the corn markets due to the use of ethenol has already sent the price of a bushel of corn through the roof. In the process increasing the cost of pork bellies, header cattle and etc. For these live crops all use corn as one of their primary choice of dinner.
For it is one good crop that all of those farmer Browns out there have at their disposal to feed their cattle and other live stock. Something that was at least inexpensive, very accessible and fattens them up for the days in the market. Now this has all changed.

RE: Hypbrid Sales
A goal of the Reporting-Ethics Republicans is to try and endorse what is good for the general public. A good example is the recent article "Hybrid sales zip into the fast lane" that appeared on the front page of The Sunday Oregonian.
According to the article, in the city of Portland the percentage of hybrid registered cars has spinked up. This is in part thanks to their fueling nature looks better and better as gas prices rise toward $3 a gallon. The consumers are responding by purchasing something in which will be getting a better mileage. For the know they will they have to pay more in the short term and get more for it.
This change of the economy has left more and more dealers to increase their inventories of the hybrids for lower prices becanse they can make up for it by selling more cars. Even encouraging the SUV loving car buyers are hungry for small, sporty cars. "Although hybrids still make up fewer than 1 percent of all passenger cars in Oregon, their numbers grew about 70 percent in the state last year."
We, at Reporting-Ethics endorse what this article covers. For initially the increase of price demanded for the purchase of one of these vehicles, will benefit from these efforts. Initially the consumers expenses and eventually benefiting the overall economy.
