<There is NO sense of shock as your rights, freedoms, and privacy slowly slip away. 20 or 30 years ago, there would have been open rebellion and outrage. Now the public behaves like conquered, sedated sheep.>

I'd have to say that's the perception the monopolized media propagandists have been working so hard on - let you think you're the only one pissed, everyone else stayed with the "index" and is doing just fine thank you very much. (well they'll have to use the Dow and avoid the Naz <g>). Can't imagine there's many who care what Brokaw/Jennings/Rather's have to say after the realization that they have been suppressing what's been going on for so many years and covering only their desired "bias". Hey, even "who wants to be a millionaire"-Regis realized he was being used and publicly denounced "the dark side". I was saddened to see Katie Couric re-up, but who can refuse $14M. She actually put Rubin on the spot live a few years ago and had him blinking like crazy when she asked "and what happens if the stock market goes to hell in a hand basket?"

Just give in and go on Prozac - you will be assimilated <g>.

btw, what shape do you think the indexes/major-propaganda-tool would be in if they weren't constantly changed to dump losers? Would probably look like the average person's brokerage statement. They aren't buying this bull anymore, it's hit them where it hurts. To paraphrase Twain, "reports of the Death of Outrage have been greatly exaggerated" <g>.

regards,
Tom
