When you look at the number of people who buy this stuff hook line and sinker its not longer about questioning and searches for the truth, its just simple propaganda.

The problem comes when you believe, and I put myself in this category, that you are surrounded by media that are, to be kind to them, utterly incompetent when it comes to portraying reality to the masses. Really, I'm with Chomsky on this... they're unconscious agents of population control, for the most part.
When you have a media you cannot trust, then maybe it takes wild, inaccurate propaganda to shake 'normal' people into... Maybe it takes more than that.
I lost a Nebraskan liberal arts major last night... no great loss.
maybe though... maybe he was abducted by international freemasonry!
Edit/Update: Turns out he just made his way directly from one bar to a train and a 4 hour journey to another city. Rum is not his drink.
