It's basically that in this country we have to sift through so much propaganda on a daily basis it requires a genuine effort to actually get to something that might be honest or useful information about a topic. People don't talk on talk shows anymore...they pontificate or bloviate or promote an agenda. The news shows are newstainment, stupid bland people presenting compartmentalized nonsense. Then there is also the issue that for our politicians it is a taboo topic. They can't discuss it in public in an honest way because those comments would be used against them. Plus you know this is one of those diabolical areas of politics where you have one group that have a major voice and political arm in this country and one group that has no voice and no vote...so there are not two sides to it here, there's just one side and a giant vacuum. It's a cute video, Mick, but I would have had a guy in a Barney suit running through a devastated cityscape while they fire machine guns and rocket launchers at him and he hysterically screams the "I love you" song. It would of course end with an air strike and Elmo strolling out into the wasteland at the end with a cigar in his mouth to urinate on the now decapitated Barney head. Probably would not have given people the warm fuzzies but I bet it would get great comments on youtube. Oh, and by the way...I love you.
