3. agreed
before people go saying how 'stupid' Americans are, they really have to look at the whole picture of Big Media manipulation in the past several years. One of the most egregious abuses has been in "sins of omission," where important points of a story are just left out. A quiet form of censorship.

Some sacred bonds of trust have been broken. Hopefully many Americans have finally wised up. The kool-aid tanks are running dry...

7. Totally. What is the Jefferson Quote?

"whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights."

5. Media, yeah, but also
many people just don't think guvmint affects their daily lives. Many just struggle to get by day by day, and are disenfranchised, feel powerless anyway, so why fight a losing battle against "city hall"? All they care about is not paying taxes. They really don't realize the rug has been pulled out from under them.

Many of us read, write, live, breathe the "cause"...millions don't. I have never understood why we haven't marched on the White House during this regime. But then again, I'm not marching (yet).

10. yep
I hear this 'ya can't fight City Hall' line from people who tend to let others walk all over them.

A perfect set-up for the dominators at every level of guvmint and bizness to consolidate their power.

6. If the video of Bush sitting frozen for 7 minutes....
as our country was being attacked had been reported in the media and shown on the news, America would have hated him a lot sooner.

Instead they decided to portray him as a heroic figure.

Makes me sick every time I think of how the media hid (and continues to hide) the truth.
