But that's the problem. Apparently enough people are NOT looking away but in fact following with rapt attention. If there was no audience the press would be off doing something else. So why is there an audience?

~~~~~~~~~

The presentation by the video mass media of such trivialites is there to cover up the real issues.

Abysmal Treatment of combat-wounded veterans at Walter-Reed over a period of two years. Continuing massacre/genocide of civilians in Sudan by MOSLEM EXTREMISTS Continuing murders of civilians in Iraq by MOSLEM EXTREMISTS both Sunni and Shiite. Amount of US debt held by foreign nations. Chinese involvment in Sudan and other petroleum producing nations in Africa. Continuing lack of enforcement of immigration statutes throughout the US. Lack of denouncement of MOSLEM EXTREMIST activities around the world by MOSLEM clerics in the US...Some say silence is the voice of complicity. Government/religious-fanatacism supression of HPV innoculations for young women. Continuing failure to correct storm damage along the Gulf Coast, OUR gulf coast. Terrible state of the US economy and failure to correct ANY of the root causes. And of course the continuing hoodwinking of the American Public by the current regime regarding world affairs including but not limited to invasion of sovereign nations without cause.

But, hey, those subjects are too sensitive...lets get on with more interesting foo-fa-raw such as artificial people in artificial circumstances (Spears, Smith and so on).

If you're not outraged you simply have not been paying attention to the real events of concern.

Does anyone know how much Chris in Chico got for his non westy syncro sold recently? Rumours abound. Which snow tires do YOU use. Haake's, BFGATKO, Conti Contact, Vredestein or...do you carry chains, er sorry BenT, TIRE chains in your van? If you camp in your vanagon what non perishables do you carry on a rotating permanent basis? Instant Mashed Potatoes, Wolf Brand Chili, Ramen, Tang or ??? How many different sized fasteners are there on our vans and what size are they?

Now back to your regularly scheduled indoctrination.
