http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/article1932727.eceLook at the way it is almost pleading for the Stern Report to be the sensible tipping point which changes the Imperial position by destroying it's arguments with hardheaded business logic rather than the "squishy" appeals to the Public Good and the Future (the nonsense of that position is fit for another topic).
But Imperial Amerika is blanketed in propaganda and lies of a new, subtle, and highly virulent variety. Breaking through that is different matter. Further complicated by the fact that it really doesn't matter what the Imperial Subjects of Amerika believe anyway.
The Imperial Family and Party has the power and we will soon see if they are going to relinquish any of it.
If I am overstating tyranny's hold on Amerika and it therefore has always been America, perhaps the Stern Report can do what the Independant fereverently hopes it will do.
But in my mind, such a conversion would be like convincing the Nazis that concentration camps were bad for business and the economy, which they surely were.
Totalitarian power structures simply do not respond to logic and reason, no matter how hard-headed and unsentimental.
