Interesting

I quite like this. It reminds me of various things said elsewhere, but not all in one place like this. It does make sense to not blindly put any one thing before everything else, but to examine the effect on the other areas if any one of these is ignored, and from that to work out the priorities.

Thank you, that was indeed my intention. I only hope it's both coherent and correct at the same time, since it's 100% original research. :) --Gutza T T+ 02:47, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Somewhat confused by the hierarchy

Maslow's hierarchy of needs

I find it confusing that this hierarchy of priorities seems to consider "media attention" to be the first (i.e., essential) level, and "principles" the ultimate level. Over on the left is Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which is a pretty typical graphic representation of a hierarchy. With most hierarchies, the basic or most important level is the one at the bottom, as it is the foundation upon which the remainder of the levels are built. Without commenting on the content too much, could you please clarify which of the priorities you consider to be the most important? Thanks. Risker (talk) 03:49, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
