it's not a video game to the recipients
Yeah I get the feeling many don't really appreciate that.

with the news so controlled
Interesting you mention that. They also interviewed 3 Americans living in Canada. A grad student here a year or so, a tv producer ? (something to do with that American in Canada show I've never seen), been here 12 years and a fitness consultant here 22 years. They were all concerned and none were raving anti Bush loonies which also serves no purpose. One of them said it was interesting how she felt here in Canada they got the whole story of what was going on as opposed to only the rah rah at home. I've noticed and mentioned this dichotomy before. And I'm not just talking about the blatant propagandizing by the two stooges (Kudlow and Cramer). To think about them for an instant though consider about any folks bought their line on stocks and investing. How many buy their line now on this important issue. Scares me to think about it. Unfortunately too many Americans maintain insular views and do not look outwards, although OTOH, happily, there are many exceptions on these boards. It's nice to be able to separate people from their governments.
