It only exists (none / 0)

as a mechanism designed to mold and shape society in the way global corporate assholes want it shaped.
Already the "hatter" sites are trying to discover who set up the VA shootings. These people did in fact warn about this type of event as "on the schedule", and here we are.
Most will think it just happened but in a manufactured and planned event, I mean a program in which all of the prescribed and desired policy/law and opinion points come out perfectly in a "random" event. Statistically unlikely.
Hundreds get killed every day in Iraq, but then again those people aren't "ours". Our people need their talking points of the day, the hour, the minute and our people need them to be geared toward the intelligence level of a twelve year old.

Poll results so far (none / 1)

Show 75% against showing the Mass Murderer Video, ever (although it's too late for that).

Here's what I want to ask: if we all oppose those awful blog posts in which Kathy Sierra's life and safety was threatened by some sick individuals, then on what basis can we endorse showing the Mass Murderer Video?

The public's right to know? Know what? That Cho was a psychotic who was bent on killing a bunch of people who never did a damned thing to him?

I was already aware of that, thanks.

The American media should be ashamed of itself, not only for this, but for so many things. The only thing American television is good for any more is pushing products at us, peddling pro-corporate, pro-war propaganda, and telling us about the latest celebrity feud (Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump are STILL fighting...civilization is coming to an end!).

That's why I don't have cable and don't watch television at all.

When did I stop?

January, 2001. Bush Junior's inauguration was the last thing I watched on television. Doesn't look like I'll be hooking up cable or satellite any time soon.
