Subheaders

[edit]

I renamed a few topic subheaders and wanted to provide a rationale for them. Please feel free to discuss here or boldly edit them.

  • Warfare, Bombings & Armed Conflicts: Couldn't come up with a more concise but clear way to get across that all intentional, politically-motivated, armed violence should be included here. Bombings have become common enough lately to warrant a mention in the subheader, unfortunately, and they fit into this category but often don't fit into "armed conflicts" or "warfare".
  • Business & Economics: The Greece item could also fall under "Politics" but I feel most issues dealing primarily with a country's economy should fall here.
  • Science & Weather: Changed the name because heat waves and storm predictions aren't usually environmental issues, they're simple, temporary weather shifts. For the record, it might be worth splitting into "Science" and "Climate & Weather" in the future.
  • Other Current Events: It made no sense to leave the unclassified items on top, so let's put them in this category from now on?

For the record, I was considering making a "simple stupidity" subheader for the Running of the Bulls item :)
