This is why I have a daily time set aside to better get in touch with my rage... grrr... GRRR... |
There is outrage. Its just that the media is doing its upmost to supress it.
I noticed immediately after 9/11, government sponsered censorship had reared its ugly head. I actually saw a news program where a professor of political science had been asked how the US had responed. He said that the US needs to resist its initial urge to go to war and look for a way to find justice without creating injustice. He went on to say that the government was trying to find scapegoats and engage in acts of tyrany against its own citizens. The program then immediately cut him off and went to a commercial.
The media only shows protesters engaging in acts of violence but will never show interviews with war protestors. It will never depict war protests as being peaceful, as in fact most protests had been.
What is shown instead are angry, molotov coctails in hand, fanatics.
I actually was a member of a message board (and suspect several others were as well) that was shut down because one member allegedly threatened the President of the US. Those of us who were members of the old Rage forum can remember this.
I also know a guy who owned a website who actually went to prison because it supposedly endorsed violence, though he denied advocating anything of the sort.
And the US is a free country?
