There is no getting away from the fact that the media is a HUGE tool for manipulation and predominantly owned by very few people with completely vested interests, and they ain't ours. In London, one of the early anti -Iraq war rallies was attended by an all-time record number of people, by most counts well over 1/2 a million and the media tried to shave it down to about 80 thousand,ridiculous,but when you have that many people attending something the truth gains strength as you can't lie to that many eye witnesses.
Nightlight, you make me wish I COULD smoke tobacco, cigarettes just make my head revolve and then I have to find a bush I can puke behind .I always notice other people's Marlboroughs smell to me like the worst worn to death feotid sports shoe set alight. Thankfully a lot of people where I live smoke roll ups as it used to be cheaper, not sure anymore.
Interesting brain you've got there nightlight.
