" From: "Garry Nordstrom" <gasnordstrom@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " [] " This is an example of standing up, " maybe not as we approve, but I think many more will be taking harder stands " towards the uncontrolled shift towards liberal, socialized ideals. on this apr 19th holiday, 'we must all hang together, or surely we will all hang separately'. i agree that there is pressure to move total support and protection way too far, but i wouldn't describe it as uncontrolled and i certainly wouldn't call a system that plays against personal liberty 'liberal', whatever those who espouse it say. socialism as seen in the soviet union and china is one of the most conservative, reactionary systems on the earth. i also agree that news media aren't interested in telling the whole story, only what grabs the most viewers. you know why? viewers aren't their audience, advertisers are; viewers are the product they sell to their audience. i'm often reminded of twain's line, the most pernicious form of lie is the half truth... " As a former teacher, they all want, but to lazy to work and feel the " pain and heat required. much in popular culture teaches easy success; little teaches hard work. " I am sadden to drive through the Midwest, seeing abandon farms, eaten up by " the federal gov't programs, old cars passed by as advertising instills the " need to keep up, old equipment lays forgotten, wonderful flat land now " blowing away, I think most will and do if pushed, stand up. this isn't creeping socialism, this is creeping capitalist imperialism with the titans of industry sleeping very closely with the political movers and shakers. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
