As a voice of reason, Noam Chomsky tells us, "If you're rational and honest, you're pretty much excluded from the educated classes, from the privileged classes. Those are the properties (honesty and rationalism) that are very dangerous."
In other words, Noam Chomsky said that if you're a liar, you can progress to the upper echelons of power. But if you're honest, you're seen as a threat to the established order.
On September 10, 2001, America was plunging into a recession; the Gary Condit sex scandal played on every station, crime was on an upswing; the Israeli/Palestinian peace talks were deteriorating; and NAFTA and illegal immigration had many people disgruntled.
One day later, on Septembr 11, our nation was inspired by waves of patriotism, focused on a single act of brutality, and was willing to relinquish many of our civil rights. To fuel us, George W. Bush gave a speech that sent his approval ratings through the roof.
Do you think that life has gotten better or worse since September 11? If you said worse, what are you going to do if things keep going downhill? Also, do you think the Mainstream Media is going to be there to help you along the way, or will they continue to lie on a daily basis? I don't know about you, but I refuse to accept their deceptive practices any longer.
