Really? Because this is hardly news to most of us already paying attention, and will be brushed off by the majority of American consumers and their corporate sponsored congressmen like so much dandruff, as were other recent assessments of how far up the proverbial creek we have gone. I predict this won't make the evening news anywhere in redsville, and won't prompt any action by anyone with the power to change anything in the ever-expanding American Empire. But then, I'm an incurable optimist.

a liberal in redsville

i must agree completely with birdboy's optomistic view of the whole news scene.  The Ministry of Information does it's job well. Consume & Obey.

Maybe if there was some kind of new religion (or a conversion of an older one, as most have done)...and this Neo-pagan religion could be led by a messianic charismatic leader...any takers?  i had a dream about you, i know you are out there...

ps i somewhat envy birdboy for living in redsville- here in California everyone agrees with me when i rant. no fun.
