People,

Please don't quote a long article and then bottom-post a few comments. 
Or top-post a few comments. In fact, the best idea is to only quote 
enough to remind other readers what you are commenting on.

It's not a matter of bandwidth, it's a matter of relevance and 
consideration.

I plan to plonk anyone who keeps doing this. (8 list members are in my 
plonk file right now...I only see their crap through the comments of 
others, though replies seem to be scarce for all but one of them, so 
perhaps others have formed the same opinion as I have.)

BTW, I think I read somewhere that when the water gets too hot the frog just 
leaves. 

Like someone already mentioned, all that is needed for the total collapse of the US 
government is that 90+% of sheeple abstains from TV and newspapers for 30 consecutive 
days (externally induced psychosis needs constant maintenance.) Such detox event would 
be the most dramatic social phenomenon in the last hundred years.

But it's impossible promulgate even that simple idea and therefore the frog stays.

It was in print, it must be true.

Perhaps it is.  But if you put a TV in the pot with the frog, he gets 
distracted...

And someone else nameless wrote that all you need to do is get
90% of the sheeple to not to watch TV for a month and you'd have a 
revolution too.


So if you legalize pot across the country, everybody would be distracted 
from TV
for at least the first couple of Post-Prohibition-Party Weekends,
or at least till their connection runs out :-)
