Needless to say, I do not expect or require people to agree with everything I post. With respect to the "media myth", I think you have it exactly backwards. USA as the bastion of freedom and democracy is the media myth. One has only to see who owns the media to understand how this could be the case. Outside the USA, the Evil Empire view is currently almost universal. It has particularly floated to the surface with the current administration, coincidentally. The history of military adventurism and economic exploitation, the subvesion of foreign governments, etc, is well established, but it NOT generally explored in the mainstream media. More blatant recent developments regarding fraudulent elections and the subversions of our civil liberties are merely the more recent and obvious indicators of corporate fascism. Europeans, having had more experience with these things, tend to see us as naive barbarians. Most Americans, on the other hand, tend to be in denial about it. Those in the early stages of owning it tend to be angry and/or frightened. L B S ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Drugs Don't Discriminate.
