[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 205684, member: 2189"] BTW: Senior and Diesel, Glad to see some appreciation here for Lind's comments. Been reading him off and on at Lew Rockwell and AntiWar for some time now but in the pass if any links to either were used I'd hear it from one of our former resident democrat party cheerleaders abut it being from a "LIBERTERIAN" website! Glad to see you guys at the least appreciate the message regardless the source and their overall political views. At the same time I'd encourage you to check regularly such Neo-websites as AEI, Heritage or Project/New American Century and even read publications like the Weekly Standard. When you really start reading these guys and can understand their agenda it won't change you but you will become much better versed especially with those whose only exposure is to reading is Ann Coulter or watch Hannity on Fox or listen to Limbaugh, Hannity or Savitch on the radio. I've posted link after link here to a lot of this stuff and most comments I get back are, "you writting a book again!" The best way to breed ignorance is to only explain yourself in 30 sec. soundbites and then condition the masses to only accept those short soundbites. At one time we could sitdown and devote ourselves to listening to 10 movement masterpieces like Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition but now we're conditioned to only handle the 2 1/2 minute rude and crude pop song with it's "4 Chords that made a million" formula. IMO that in itself speaks volumes across the societal spectrum.
