I would have assumed he'd have his ring scan the internet looking for stupid decisions like that.

Yes, that's the one. I was just getting my Roosevelts mixed up. Seriously, I would say it was the single biggest blunder in American history if it weren't for the fact that there's probably even stupider shit that I don't know about.
EDIT: Interesting that the Wiki doesn't list the fact that it caused the contamination of the Florida Deep Aquifer, even though that fact was clearly printed in the history books I used growing up.

Jamie you are the last person I thought i'd say this but you're really killing my buzz here.
I'd be more worried about what causes the plane's issues to simultaneously distract the SI. He /just/ finished pissing off a Hekatonkheire precisely because he suspects it has manifested in the conventional world within the last hundred years.Why is everyone so worried about the plane crashing? Paul is a goddamn Lantern, he can carry it if needed.

"Easily weaponable relics" by the standards of normal baseline humans, not people who can pick up the obelisk in St. Peter's Square and swing it like a baseball bat to smash some demon's skull in.

Zoat, just for this I will make an omake of Paul being trolled by the Animaniacs.
The ring doesn't do well with a description as vague as "stupid decision". There's also the problem that even if it could handle such a request, "tell me every stupid decision made by every person and organization on Earth" would cause a serious case of information overload.

Yeah, and it goes into the whole "I don't want everyone to rely on me" thing. If people aren't doing much innovation for defence because the Justice League exists, how would the world react when there's a guy who can also undo damage from environmental disasters, and generally lots of bad decisions?
Given his tendency to improve things as he fixes them, there's also the risk that it would cause some people to deliberately make "bad decisions".

1) I have to provide the exact book for citation purposes, which I don't remember the name of the book I'd be citing.It's a wiki. You can fix it.
2) I'd have to try and be unbiased about the whole thing, which I can't since I don't have the whole story.
3) The mere thought of setting up a page on TVTropes gives me a headache. Why would I want to edit something that is even more annoying?
EDIT: 4) This is off-topic anyways, so we should just stop here. Meant to include this at first, but I got distracted and forgot.

I have to ask, why is Lex still working with The Light? Almost all the other members are having a seriously bad time (if they aren't flatout dead) thanks to Paul, while Lex is in at least as good a position as he was at the beginning. All he has to do get absolutely stinking filthy rich, change the world, and go down in history as one of the greatest men ever is cut them loose and go legit.
I can't figure out what agenda he could possibly have (other than killing Supes) that wouldn't be better served that way. Money? Controlling a megacorp that's opening up entirely new fields of business handles that. Power? See the previous. Fame? Again, see the previous. Beating Superman? Why kill your enemy when you can render him obsolete and irrelevant? Supes isn't really that big a deal in a world where the schizo tech is properly applied and everyone's got Donner enhancements. Yeah, he's a powerful flying brick, but the difference is a lot smaller and there are far fewer situations where he's needed.

Because if he tries to leave the Light, the others might not take it well.

What does being in the light actually cost him? I mean, he can be in the light and still do all those other things, except he also gets the lights resources to call on when he needs them and input into the lights plans.

The only one who's remotely a threat to him at this point is Klarion. Ras is dead or an irrelevancy. Queen Bee is dead. The rest are stuck trying to play plotter villain against a Lex who can count on hero backup.
And that's assuming he doesn't announce his resignation is a particularly nasty manner, like setting up a scry-and-die by OL instead of giving two weeks notice.
Embarassment of being associated with guys OL keeps bitch-slapping, having to explain to the rest why he's all buddy-buddy with the guy systemically thrashing them.
Seriously, I'm a bit suprised the Light doesn't think Lex is selling them out to OL. OL is ruining the rest of them while Lex is benefiting from working with OL.

No matter what you google for, you will get some sort of porn as a result. The more inoculous the search, the more twisted the fetish.What in the world was that last one?
It also allows him to keep tabs on the actions of those idiots, and tip off the heroes in case they come up with something particularly harmful to Lex/his interests (like wiping out humanity because they forgot to carry the 2)

That's why I proposed announcing his resignation with an Orange Lantern scry-and-die.
