The problem is, I so rarely find the time. I also feel guilty about buying a Sunday paper here in the UK, because they are huge - half a rain forest worth - and most of it goes straight into the recycling without even being opened.(Business section, anyone?)

Not the big ones, at least, but there's something very human about having a paper that is loyal to the community, simple because its editors, producers, and advertisers are the community. 2) I do care! Ever since I was, say, twelve, I've loved sitting down on Sunday morning with a hot cup of beverage (coco, tea, coffee, hot water... our family has odd drinking preferences) and flipping through the local paper. Always looking for the funnies, of course, and spotting out the ones that have been there, and will be there, whether they're digitized or not. Boy, that cat sure loves lasangna!
