Its on their front page right now, upper left side in article about Obama's hopes meet reality or some such blather. I frankly just simply DO NOT believe the results. It's got to be being gamed by industry opponents. Please go make your views known.

4. It's a testament...
..to the efficiency of the mass media. In a country where you can legally sell Velveeta™ and call it cheese, convincing people that 'health reform should wait till the economy improves' is relatively easy.

This is the only country on the planet, so far as I know, and the first, if it isn't, to make marketing an academic discipline and a university major.

It'll be the death of us...

7. Only in the same way...
...and the same sense that the Senate Republicans' 'health care plan' is a health care plan.

6. I'm so sick of the media fucking with my life,
till I don't know what to do anymore! :banghead:

Can we make a citizen's arrest,
because the onslaught is as transparent
as the 3 weeks of MJ coverage was seen as being over the top....
yet they faked like they didn't realize that till after the 3 weeks.:banghead:

8. FIRST, substantially increase all taxes to the filthy, stinking, greedy rich.
SECOND, provide health care to ALL Americans. If WE can't pay for it, how the hell can WE have it?

9. BS or not, that is the current proposal being touted by Obama
no substantive change until 2013, and then only for a handful of uninsured and micro-employers.
