You should believe nothing you hear and half of what you see.....
I think this would be good advice for Americans in these times. I do believe the Bushbots are under the spell of a very deep propaganda campaign. But, they do not recognize it because they are not informed. Information is power but ignorance is strength. Ignorance masquerading as righteousness. The majority masquerading as national consensus... War masquerading as peace and democracy. The sheeple have little strings tied to arms, legs, and tongues and they do not see the filaments. They listen to Rush and Hannity and their little brains are overflowing.

5. Exactly!
Are you hearing or seeing? Or is reading different? :)

2. If I read it on the internet, is that hearing or seeing?
I'll count it as seeing, and read every other word. :)

4. I believe less than that
Edited on Fri Feb-25-05 05:35 PM by Nimrod
I have a simple rule I live by: If the source is the government, the media, a corporation, or a religious group I assume it is a grotesque lie at best.

6. "People say 'Believe half of what you say, some to none of what you hear,'
' Oh yeah, I heard through the grape vine''.
