Perspective "Should Reads" That Provoke Critical Thinking
by The Old Hippie, Because Knowledge Is Its Own Freedom

Just a few items to stimulate the sound-bite abused cells of our political minds.  Interviews, videos, Opinions, Articles, and animations that I have been able to discover during my travels inside what

Bush referred to as the "internets."  None of these items are of the sound-bite type, and I have also endeavored to avoid the overly intellectualized, and unfairly biased items as best as I could.  That is not to say that some of the items are not obviously biased, but I hope biased toward reality, and not political propaganda. I have also attempted to include such items that are interesting, important, and have an unexpected eye-opening perspective quality - Especially during this historic period of bombarding bombast. These are strange times people, and determining reality within the corporate media of America today is not easy.  I sincerely hope these items help. . .

Some call it spinning, some call it massaging the message, some have even dubbed it LuntzSpeak, but none dare call what Frank Luntz has been peddling the truth. . .
