Thanks McFly.
I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, and for awhile there we were chewing on each others' interpretation of events; but one HAS to read alternative news sources to get the truth and form their own opinions.

People who watch one newschannel (for instance) for all their news or read only one magazine (and think they're informed) are missing out on self-awareness.
That's why the amassing of many media outlets into a few is a pretty scary prospect for me.
A dumbed down populace with little access to information will certainly take away what freedoms we have left.
And everytime you mention that we've helped you see the light, makes me feel validated in some small way.
May you continue to read, and continue to question. That is your RIGHT.
