I would have to say all of it is pretty much rubbish...........I think freedom of speech has become freedom to obscure and spin truth beyond any hope of recognition

And why not talk about assisted suicide or right to die stuff. Be aware of the "requirements" to qualify and the hoops that need to be jumped through and the strangers in your face at the end. Just imagine a movie about such a thing and the whole thing is just another sad joke

The requirements of approval from two physicians is fair (though it would be far more efficient to simply require approval from one)... But the waiting times between application and prescription is too lengthy.

It's not perfect, but it's better than the alternative in the other states/nations, i.e. pull the plug, and suffer a slow, agonising death [with a side of morphine; where applicable]. Euthanasia will be amended (in time).

If you really listen you can can hear your friends, family and neighbors recite the talking points from these broadcasts.

I do it myself. It's amazing the strength and influence of news propaganda. If anything they are just better at it then what you would call a axis of evil country.

Something I have done for my own amusement is while a major political news story is happening that both Fox "News" and MSNBC are going to be surely covering concurrently, such as in the case of the Boston Marathon Bombings, is to flip back and forth from each channel and watch the opposing biased spin BS fly. It's unbelievable. Comical.

But it's true, it's a powerful media machine. I have to challenge myself to seek out some semblance of truth or reality from uncommon sources what is really going down in this country. It's easy to tune into whatever satiates our own biases; hear what we want to hear. It's sad that the truth tellers are seemingly hidden in the shadows, by design I think.

LOL, I do it too. Sometimes I don't mind the message nearly as much as I detest the messengers.
