70. I don't blame them, either

Sun Jan 1, 2012, 08:54 PM

Jan 2012

We were hammered 24/7 with 9/11 and then there was the anthrax scare that was pushed so forcefully that it was impossible to escape it. Businesses instituted "suspect" package rules, and shipping departments took forever because they were having to handle mail differently. It was unreal how frightened everyone was.

But yes, what we should have learned from it was never trust the corporate media to tell the truth, because they have never seen a war they didn't fall in love with. And I agree - to learn to take your own opinions with a grain of salt, because what you think you know may not actually be what you know at all.
