Chris, Given the context the statement leaned toward either legitimate government involvement from any number of agencies, or downright censorship. That card game is quite derogatory toward many gov't officials and business leaders. It spins a grain of truth to whip up frenzy within conspiracy theory groups and other anti-government/big business, Bush-bashing circles. No card game can reflect reality. A person's objectivity can be compromised by this sort of stuff. The game may be banned on Ebay because nobody will claim ownership. Marilyn brought it to our attention. Perhaps she would care to defend her statement.
