[applegrove]

want to get rid of public universities and public information? Does the GOP envision a world where all information is bought and paid for? And newspapers are losing money. Are we seeing the start of the attack on 'good information' from the experts (who also seem to be under attack)? Cause good information finally punching through to people is why OWS worked. Controlling good information is really the only way corporations can control the world.

8. It's part of the infowar,
