I read of at least one incident where a person got one, but then got mugged leaving the store.I wonder if any of the muggers lined up in order to get a good mugging spot?
I also hate paper edition of Globe and Mail for many reasons. First the idea of a tree being chopped because of my personal preference, second it is full of advertisements, third it is not available here in Atlanta, and fourth and most importantly, I have to buy it!I can certainly understand your preference for not paying for things or being bombarded by advertising, but exactly how do you think that the Globe & Mail (or any other newspaper) is going to pay its reporters, editors, administrators and other people required to put out the paper? How do you think it’s going to pay the printing and paper (and satellite time since it satellite publishes across Canada) costs for the print edition or, if you don’t want to chop down that tree, the server and bandwidth costs for the online edition? Since starting to write this column and other articles for MC Press I’ve come to love advertisers. I get depressed when my column runs without a complete slate of paid advertisements on it. I certainly don’t get paid anywhere near a king’s ransom for this column (or if I do, the king’s kidnappers must have self-esteem problems if they are asking such a low ransom), but MC Press would not be able to pay me anything if it weren’t for the advertisers. Either that or they would have to start charging subscription fees. As someone once said, there is no free lunch.
