Silence is Consent
If you don't speak up you accept what is happening. This site was born out of the mainstream media's inability to cover the news.

I rant and post news items I perceive to be relevant to our current situation.
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

And it isn't just that you didn't do enough to question it, it's that you didn't do anything. And you still aren't. Your pathetic CSPAN mea culpa, seen by less than 1% of the country, is even less impressive when you go right back to your studio and keep carrying water for the Bush Administration, ala Ms. Woodruff.

Iraq War and Israel Soft-Pedaled in 9/11 Report

Comments by the ubiquitous commissioners last weekend yield the clear impression that they would just as soon limit our horizon to the trees.
