That is illuminating contemplation. Where paranoia is prevalent is in the manipulation of mass media. Wherever on the spectrum ,issues like gun control, abortion , healthcare, education, welfare, seniors&social security are played to frighten instead of enlighten. Bold general statements are effectively directed to emotions and timed and ;just like the ads of big business ;are calculated for effectiveness. The perception of truth is only used to qualify the target. We give ourselves to much credit. We say we think for ourselves than more likely we are trained in the trenches and do not look over. Politics is the beast that thrives on this and creates the endless arguments that seem self perpetuating. Yell for yelling sake! Paranoia breeds mistrust though. And a definitive polarization. Remember the slogan "its the economy stupid"? I'm so paranoid I feel the rate cut by the honorable Mr. Greenspan is for political as much economic reasons given to timing. Just like the bombing of the chemical plant and guerilla place ,the effort may be warranted but out of the blue, the timing suggests underlying criteria. My cynicism has overcome reason in that I didn't think Mr. Clinton to have that power immediately and without perceived consultation in the bombings. What else can he do? That was impressive in the fact we have forgotten it. Another end around game. And if it meant so much for the president to bomb perceived targets with no follow up,no discourse,on the day Monica was to be deposed, what is the underlying criteria that created it. We are not in brown shirts and undercontrol. We do have the wool pulled over our eyes.
