Subject: Re:Would be comfortable living next door to a man who has a dozen shotguns in his basement?

rod03801: I've wondered about that too, but have you noticed we are aways informed of a crazies political views if it sounds like right wing ranting?

In my local news paper if a politician has done something embarassing or said something odd, more often than not you'll see his party affiliation in parenthesis next to his (or her) name. But not if that politician happens to be a Democrat. Sometimes misinformation is subtley passed along more by omission than by out right lying. So it is very possible to create a mental image in the publics eye that doesn't necessarily reflect reality.

When someone talks about the public being ignorant of what is going on, I don't believe it's always the publics fault. It never hurts to read between the lines.. the aliens are watching, and waiting to make their move, so we must be ever vigilant.
