4. Don't just focus on the Downing Street....
But also focus on PNAC, the abusive Bolton nominations, Ohio election fraud coingate scandal, and the 70 + scandals on Tom DeLay. Let's show the world what kind of place America is today!!!!

Remember Tommy DeLay and his great moral ethics? http://houseofscandal.org

7. Our media needs to read our comments. Maybe their love of
Democracy overcomes their fear of the Authoritarian Right.

8. all that can come after DSM truly takes hold
One serious problem that needs to be addressed in a realistic way is news saturation. There's too much. It's everywhere and, like the internet, it is very difficult to separate wheat from chaff- especially when the chaff doesn't want to be separated.

The difficulty with this is, they know there's too much. It's part f how they distract; by having so much, there aren't as many eyes on the inactive hand. It's like a street magician's trick: too many people are looking at the kerchief in the other hand, simply because it's there, and it's more colorful and makes them happier.

The media says "watch the handkerchief!" while the government says, "steal the watch off his wrist!" It's... all.... a scam.
