| Summary: |
Capitol crimes -- The fall of super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff has exposed what may be one of the biggest political scandals in America's history. What does the dizzying scope of corruption say about how laws are made and who really owns the U.S. government? Is God green? -- Discusses the debate between evangelical Christians who believe that it is their duty to do something about environmental problems such as global warming and those who believe that because the end of the world is near, stewardship is unnecessary. The Net @ risk -- A boon to computer users, broadband has meant fast Internet services for millions. But as the phone and cable giants that operate these networks consider the profits to be made by controlling the content and delivery of the Internet, Net Neutrality - and the easy sharing of ideas and opinions that goes with it - may soon become a thing of the past in America. |
