Well that's where we differ. You're endorsing trial by media which means you hear a bunch of rumors and then form an opinion based on which ones you'd like to believe. That seems irresponsible to me and one of the reasons why the truth is becoming more who's side you listen to rather than what's actually happened. Rumors are becoming more important than fact and many people seem not to know the difference. Prime example: Iraq has WMD and was responsible for 9/11 - not true but 80% of people thought so and supported war because they jumped to a conclusion rather than wait for facts. It's Winston's "new reality" from 1984 - people don't base opinions on facts, they base them on the media. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:161080 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
