If a person repeatedly hears one side, and negative information about the other, even a non-idiot will probably go along with the propaganda. Just look at the recall circus in California. The leading candidate on one side is a well-known actor. Even well qualified candidates probably don't have a chance against him. Media exposure runs the show. With huge media conglomerates, it's becoming simple: Huge campaign contributions --> large media exposure --> get elected. The best government money can buy. -- rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
