20. Thanks for your reply. Lots of googling ahead.
It seems to me that making people aware that they have been lied to is a rather crucial step in restoring democracy to this country. As long as they float along with the happytalk, they won't be bringing pressure to bring change. Many of them don't use the internet for anything or else feel that it doesn't have anything to offer,so why bother. They trust their favorite anchors and don't want to believe that the lies are so fundamental.

So the question is, how to wake them up? And how to keep the freedoms that the alternative media have now if the administration starts thinking we might develop into a threat to their dominance?

These aren't my areas of expertise -- my training is in biochemistry and cell biology -- but it seems vital to me to find some answers and get moving on these things. (Of course, the area you are choosing for your part of the fight is absolutely vital as well. With tainted elections, change is blocked.)

Thanks again and good luck to you, to all of us.
