I appreciate the
generalization of the media. I would respond, but I first must clear it through
the corporate sponsors, the Communist Party, the dictators and the ghost of
Benito Mussolini that run my publication and control my
thoughts. >>> "Paul Goettlich" <gottlich@infi.net> 05/22/01 11:19AM >>> Dear Muna et al, When I first read the Cato message, I thought I was misunderstanding it. But subsequent readings confirmed that its meaning was heavily flawed on all counts. His kind of thought process troubles me deeply. That leads to the point that while intelligence is a highly valued attribute, it is utterly useless without common sense. The fact that George Bush spoke at the commencements of both the University of Notre Dame (Indiana) and Yale University illustrates this fusion of intelligence with a lack of common sense on the part of the boards of directors and administrations. The St. Joe Valley Greens < http://www.sjvgreens.org >, in South Bend, told me that they had an anti-Bush demonstration planned, but were completely excluded from the campus by extremely tight security. On a normal day, ND has tight security because it is a separate city and not part of South Bend, which surrounds it. They have their own police and regulations, allowing them to routinely exclude and heavily censor outgoing information. There were more than the normal number of helicopters floating around on commencement day. Communication between ND and South Bend is minimal. In other words, it's a perfect place for Bush. The typical person in the US is far from being in touch with reality because 99.99% of the media is owned by the same corporations that are pushing corporate globalization, monoculture farming, pesticides, genetic engineering, nuclear power, coal power, oil power, internal combustion vehicles, an end to birth control, and so on. This is not to absolve them of wrong-doing, but merely a fact. It took me a long time -- years -- to realize that everything I learned in school was misinformation. Your life and those of the other inhabitants of the world never leave my thoughts. Together we will succeed.
