No sorry I don't subscribe to that. It is their fault they believe the tv. Anybody can see the American news is just way biased beyond belief.. I think the general problem is stupidity. Once stupidity is eradicated the world will be a safer place. The end of stupidity. Ahhhhhh. Another thing you miss about America is that many Americans Have never been abroad which contributes to mistrust Between cultures and places they don't understand. Nice, fundamentalist Christians in the shitehouse again . Bill Hicks would turn in his grave. Well heres hoping they come to their senses next year. Actually, Thrash, not very many people did vote for Shrub and it's not their fault that they believe their television sets. Either Shrub or Gore could have been beaten by a third vote from all the remaining voters that didn't vote. Isn't that sad? I really wish we had something a bit more like a Parliament here so these extreme swings wouldn't be necessary. And back to the television sets. The majority of Americans spend most of their time either sitting on their fat, lazy asses in front of the television or with a television on within earshot. Most of their time. And the rest of the time they wish they could be watching television. They don't read, they don't engage in debate, they don't TALK to other people. They watch TV. And TV gives them simplified messages over and over and over. "Death tax." "Death tax" is a lie but it is so small a set of words that you can't call it a lie. The Right said over and over that it affects small business owners and farmers when in reality it affects multi-billionaire owners of corporations and agri-business giants. This tax was originally set up to prevent monetary empires from being created as well as to aid the good of society by balancing the governments budget. But the propaganda machine has been cranking ceaselessly for the Right for years and people actually believe the removal of taxes on the superwealthy will help them. They are fools. The far Right is producing a group of ultrawealthy religious zealots that will soon control so much wealth that no government on the planet can stand against them. Hell, they've already bought the US and British Governments... www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead.
