Great line Larry!
And you make a good point.
I barely watch TV these days and when I saw that story a couple of weeks ago about the duct tape on the news, I thought "Whaaaaa??"
Obviously everyone living in Washington, DC should have some duct tape, if only to cover the mouths of ALL politicians for a week or two.
Then if they could just get all the major newscasters, think HOW QUIET life would be once more!

And Larry, I almost fell off my chair when I heard you say this:
>" I think the US is a great country, but I also think that it's people are being manipulated by it's leadership, for not-very-noble reasons. "

Ahhhh, a little light shines through.
I think more than a few are beginning to spit out the sour pablum we've been fed 24/7 about the "war" on.........
