right-wing propaganda about the nasty government. (What else do we have to represent our wishes even if the current one fails us?) But the points of view are interesting and give us the opportunity to think about a lot of things.

Are we being lied to? Yes, every day.

Is our media silent with regard to the most important events and issues of the day? Yes, always.

Are unemployment, inflation and extreme environmental degradation being masked by a lot of irrelevant gossip on the TV and internet and by economic gimmicks like changes in packaging? Yes, most definitely.

Is labor less and less valuable? Absolutely.

Are most Americans being played for suckers and kept in the dark? Yes. No doubt.

Lots of good information and provocative ideas.

Is war inevitable? I don't know.

Can we do anything to change our situation?

That's the question.
