According to Gregor-ee you not only have to like the following news but because it is ordained by God you have to worship it to. WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--President Barack Obama on Wednesday wrote to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) to ask Congress to consider changes to the federal budget to help better respond to the Gulf oil disaster. "Together, these amendments will provide critical funds and authorities needed to respond to this spill as well as changes to current law to better prepare the Nation for any future spills," Obama said in the letter to Pelosi, released late Wednesday by the White House. Earlier Wednesday, the White House said it would ask Congress for funds to help people affected by the spill, to boost the existing oil-spill cleanup tax by a penny a barrel and to raise the potential liability of companies responsible for spills. online.wsj.com

That isn't what I said. I view propaganda a little different than you. Propaganda in the context of the university meant to me a serious breach of truth and trust actionable by concerned parties. For you, however, it is whatever you disagree with. For instance, liberalism is apparently "propaganda" to you. I suppose that evolution is "propaganda" to you. And I suppose that teaching the Old testament wouldn't be "propaganda" at all, would it? But teaching Jainism would be "propaganda". Real propaganda is if our tax dollars (or yours) went to help schools teach that creationism was a "scientific" alternative to evolution. And that kind of propaganda can be stopped through the legal system. When you talked about your son's English course being a propaganda course you were obviously simply meaning it taught something you disagreed with--hence it was "propaganda"--because if YOU disagree with it, then it is not true! You live in a world of "propaganda". It doesn't sound like you will ever get out of that glass jar. You obviously think you're on the outside of the jar looking in. But you are on the inside looking out--and the lid is rusted on...
