but, of course, we have a corporate owned and operated media too.
Americans need to develop some healthy skepticism and quit watching the television to get their news.
We all need to read more for ourselves and not trust those in positions of power to be honest.
I'm so glad you invented the internet, Al. We would be in much worse shape without it.

in regards to timetables, players and the corruption of corporate America. Treasonous, at least to me.

I wonder how many of the little people in the TP actually know a lot of this?

Are these think tanks tax free? If so, why?

Great comments, as well.
