"Yeah and those pesky public documents make it tough to rewrite history. We're backsliding into a secret, Soviet style government." It is so Orwellian. Down to the equivalent of New Speak. We might as well name England Airstrip One and be done with it...

re: So, if you are into accumulating power, what do you do to insure 'the cows' don't get agitated.......you take away any controversial documents that might upset them and get them thinking. Yeah and those pesky public documents make it tough to rewrite history. We're backsliding into a secret, Soviet style government. There is no question we are backsliding. Did you hear about the Olympics controversy. For the first time in Olympic history, a black man got a medal for a single event. That black man is from Chicago.......apparently, tensions between he and the rest of his team are running very high. Very strange......but no one is really talking. They interviewed a white guy yesterday........and his comments were so cryptic it was hard to understand what the problem is. And now this AM, Bryant Gumble is a rant about the Olympics in that they are about as white as "a GOP convention". I can remember when the Olympics was about sports competition....wasn't that just 8 years ago.
