Want to know how the war on terror is going? Just read the paper.

The truely scary thing is... they do it here, they do it there, they do it eveywhere.

How the hell do you know what's real?

Oh, that's easy. We're the ones who tell the truth. Because we have been completely honest and forthright since the day we first talked about invading Iraq. Colin Powell totally laid it all out in irrefutable facts before the whole United Nations General Assembly. We would never lie. This must be counter-counter-counter-misinformation planted by the terrorists who hate our freedom, and want everyone to be enslaved.

No offense intended, but didn't we decide to forgo political discussion? Just asking.

No, Bio brought it back, but warned against including personal attacks. It doesn't come up much, but I like to join in when I can.

Totally... so long as people play nice, it's a non issue.

As for the topic at hand... this scares the crap outa me. We live in the information age... and when that information is manipulated by those in power, how can you find the truth?

Seriously.

Reading someone's blog? How do you know that they aren't on the payroll? How about a forum? If the news agencies (besides Fox... but we already knew they sold their souls) aren't reporting the news, but are instead nothing more than paid propaganda machines, then all that this country was founded on is already gone.

Welcome to Soviet America. Have a nice day.
