The American Public have been fed the worst.
How about eating up "Shock and Awe"?
Well, we did and we saw bombs lighting up the streets of Bagdad.
We're desensitized, that's what it is.
I mean, what IS "Shock and Awe"? Is that acceptable?
And who coined that term? How do you explain it to your kids and keep them down on the farm?

People have been manipulated and wrapped around sound bytes.
How do you think they feel as if they have any part of the process anymore? Elections are bartered for, manipulated and even under an electronic system that appears illegal and yet no-one can stop any of this.

How do you spell "dumbed down"?
