Hi Don, Re: For all practical purposes, the checks and balances built into the Constitution of the United States to protect the rights and freedom of Americans no longer exist. I read an interesting statistic a couple of days ago. The net number of votes it took to swing 3 key Senatorial races in 2002 amounted to about 45,000 votes. This country is extremely evenly divided. I was amazed that voters wouldn't do as they'd done in the past, such as in 1994, when they voted to put checks & balances in against Clinton when he got a bit too audacious with his single payer health plan. Giving the Republicans carte blanche may result in more hunger among Democrats in 2004. At least I hope so. I know I'm far more politicized. I attendeed a Howard Dean for Prez "Meetup" last night. We had about 15 people in attendance. I compare this to the year 2000, when I got involved in a small way in the waning weeks of the campaign. ******* Re: The intensity of the propaganda and lies targeted at Americans by the Bush administration dwarfs anything I've ever seen. If the FCC ruling isn't modified by Congress and passed over a Presidential veto, it can only get worse.

What's taking place is really freaking scarry and chilling to the bones. Two years ago, I never imagined we would be in this state of affairs. Not many takes notice. What is going on? Is the majority under some kind of voodoo spell?

I suspect the number of Americans who think Saddam Hussein bombed the WTC would be in the high 90% range rather than the current, and still ridiculous, 60%. What's ridiculous is asserting that "60%" of Americans think that "Saddam Hussein" attacked the WTC. Rather, I'm inclined to take the less simplistic approach that some Americans - as well as some completely nonscientific polls - believe that the Iraqi Ba'athist regime, lead until his desposition by Hussein, offered material help and support to terror groups in the recent past, possibly contributing to their capability to carry out attacks of the type we saw on 9/11. That, in fact, is hardly debatable. I'm also certain that very few Americans believe that there were Iraqis on board the four hijacked aircraft, though that allegation has been made repeatedly on this thread. Now; respecting truth, logic, and credibility of research by not resorting to unsubstantiated conspiracy theory websites, blogs (the electronic equivalent of diaries), or other internet graffiti: can you show a statistically sound survey or poll concluding that "60%" of Americans believe that "Saddam Hussein" (or Iraq, for that matter) orchestrated the WTC attack? Or that Americans widely believe that Iraqis were among the 19 hijackers? LPS5
