In addition to sharing ideas, discussion serves to develop new ideas. Imagination and inspiration come from sharing information. Hence tons of propaganda and disinformation from the six companies that constitute the national news media that serve the War Party. They spare no expense to halt the spread of what they most fear, the Truth.

Thank you for sharing from your remarkable storehouse, H2O Man. Seeing how the only thing I can imagine lower than the Congressional approval number is respect for Corporate McPravda, the Internet may be working to confirm what our eyes and ears have been telling us. Thus the import of your honest and caring heart.
