Brenda I agree with the majority of what you wrote. Especially concernign PACs, the media & the lack of women in politics. It deserves reposting. Brenda wrote: "We don't live in a democracy; we live in a republic. And the real groups controlling the republic (and the media for that matter) - political action committees (PAC's) and wealthy givers are doing so from both sides of the aisle and they don't want things to change." "The media in our country sucks for the most part. We have been dumbed down by USA Today type summary style reporting and sound bytes. Very few outlets are impartial...We are effected by media language in more ways than we may realize - not only does it feed our prejudices but it also feeds our arrogant, U.S.-centric ignorance." "Take a good look at our Congress. Women are the majority in our country, yet there only 13 women in the 100 member Senate and only 61 women in the 435 member House. Our country is controlled by older white men of European ancestry (in both parties) - even though that is just one view." ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics www.polysonics.com Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
