Arabic TVs with their quality and their flaws are keeping a whole population worldwide with strong cultural and linguistic ties to their origins. Much stronger than the regular immigrant, melting in the common pot.
As any other foreign TV, it keeps people from really integrating in a common culture. The immigrant langage barrier makes those TV the mostly watched. In my South of France street, North African immigrants' houses all have a satellite dish to get Arabic TV. They wouldn't need a French Al-Jazeera anyway, since they have the original one.

I myself, as a US immigrant, remember watching the Bush-Kerry presidential election on US TV (including Fox ;-) and France 2 public channel. Wow. What a difference! Kerry was going down on one side of the Altlantic while getting elected on the other (you picked the wrong country, John).

So, should we allow any TV? Free speech says yes.
Should we be happy about it? I'm not so sure. I admit I hope those TVs will be monitored for extremism.

As for Burlington it's so close to the Ben&Jerry's ice cream factory it can't be a bad town ;)

Why is Neatorama so great?

It's neatly eclectic. I don't like equally all the posts but really can see the 'neatyness' in it. There's always something new and interesting.
So sorry Alex, no ideas, no help besides a couple of url suggestions, just cheering the good work, enjoying a good time. Thanks.

A 1928 German timed rocket. Dogfight, shoot your enemy with the rocket, abandon combat. The enemy goes back to his base, and that's when the clock device sets up the explosion, bringing mayhem to the groung crew as well.
Evil.
