19. Half Man H..B! I'm not whining, I'm saying the media whooped up "Docile."
I certainly wasn't saying that New Yorkers should have done anything differently than the way they behaved.....they were wonderful......as they always are.....except for that time in the late 70's.

I felt the Media's portrayal was that "No one will be too upset if there aren't any answers about what happened until "bush is darn ready to give them.....because the portrayal is of a docile and innocent people....who are so well behaved after 9/11 that they have just "gotten back to business" and they will forget all about this little incident in their lives.

It was the spin......that only the politicians will ask questions......the people are happy. It's the media's portrayal of everything being fine....and so therefore they will wait for an investigation no matter how long it takes, that was just so over the top to me.

New Yorkers, and everyone in all the other states and Canada are going to be wondering from Mr. Chimp......just what the hell went on! The media "spin" is that all is well in "Pleasantville" and no one but the "Politicians" are asking any questions about the worst blackout in our history. They will try to cover it over like they have 9/11....is what I think.

That was what I was trying to point out.
