2. Gag, DEAVER Just Said RAYGUN "kindest human I have ever known"

"and for that reason, people could take advantage of him, and that's why Nancy was there." and RAYGUN's "life began when he met Nancy and, obviously, so did hers."

[Kanary]

3. Deaver was wrong

Bushwa is ever so much more kind. /sarcasm

King Ronnie was soooo kind that thousands of people died because of the cuts he made to support systems.

Lethal kindness.

4. "Sorrows of Empire" Chalmers Johnson on now.....

5. All this good information for the American People will be lost to the

majority. Only 1 to 5 percent will gain from it. OK OK Maybe a tad more.

Somehow, if can reduce our message to digestable sound bites, a glimmer of hope might result.

[Kanary]

6. Oh joy........

I was already depressed enough, opi....... :)

OK, opi, I know you're right about this......in terms of percentages, most USians are probably much more like Bushwa, and pride themselves on not reading.

However, the sound bites come when these authors are interviewed on TV, and some of the pithy points make it out, as did Woodward's book.

For the rest of us, it helps to have input to sort things out, and get a clearer view of this whole mess.

As I was listening to Mr. Johnson speak, I was also hoping that some college classes will make use of his book.

9. The American people, like all people across this planet, are basically

lazy. I know I am.

The average Human mind can only take so much information before over load occurs. Somehow, we must find a way to overcome this.

Its not impossible to manage a shift to insure better info is made available to us sheep that is Objective and benevolent and is absorbed. Its called the Truth. But Truth and Sanity is held hostage by the NeoCons and their psyops machinery.

Is there a way? Sure there is, all we gatta do is promote Reason and Common Sense in digestable terms.

Come, we plan for Luau

7. Do try to see "The Seduction of War" and Chalmers interview afterward.

I THINK and hope that this will be rebroadcast later tonight. (I was stupidly watching Perle testify on C-span 1 and missed most of the panel, but hope to watch it all later.)

Not only were the speakers wonderful, but also the audience questions.

8. Thanks for this list. Robert Sheer's Sunday "Five Lies About Iraq" looks

interesting. And the Chalmers Johnson interview that the poster above talked about. Other stuff, too.

Robert Scheer, co-author, The Five Biggest Lies Bush Told
Us About Iraq"

10. I had my eye on the Sheer talk, also

That was the big reason I posted this, plus I thought Kerry supporters would be interested in the one about him.

That Johnson interview was really good. Wish I had it recorded, so I could digest more of it. My poor brain only takes in so much at once.
