This is still giving me problems! :unsure:
DECLARE @pairs TABLE (dropped_id INT, retained_id INT)
INSERT INTO @pairs
SELECT 16492, 23011 UNION ALL
SELECT 23011,24014 UNION ALL
SELECT 23011,24951 UNION ALL
SELECT 16492,24951 UNION ALL
SELECT 16492,29381 UNION ALL
SELECT 24951,29381 UNION ALL
SELECT 23011,29381 UNION ALL
SELECT 24014,66665 UNION ALL
SELECT 3344,66665

It takes a minimal capacity for rational thought to see that the corporate 'free press' is a structurally irrational and biased, and extremely violent, system of elite propaganda.
David Edwards - Media lens[/url]
Society has varying and conflicting interests; what is called objectivity is the disguise of one of these interests - that of neutrality. But neutrality is a fiction in an unneutral world. There are victims, there are executioners, and there are bystanders... and the 'objectivity' of the bystander calls for inaction while other heads fall.
