Om Shanti
the people to protest most seem to be the missionaires.
china should get walmart to employ all the missionaries in real jobs.
If Christian missionaries start working for Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart
stores will soon be forced to shut down because of child-molestation
charges.

Please, be so kind and remove a.c.f. from the groups you reply to.
The Hindu civilization is humankind's oldest surviving
and most time-tested one.

ltlee1 said:mbl* said:It's really not so funny! Freedom of speech plus Liberalism may yet
prove to be a curse to America and western civilizations. What is
freedom of speech or information if it is laced with misinformation and
propaganda? Do you think all the conspiracy theories, and propaganda
about terrorists, and hate and anger, helpful to unify the American
people, or has it in fact divided the American people? Is your blood
pressure normal or is it so high you are about to have a heart attack
with all the propaganda that is floating about? People love
sensationalism, and stimulation, and the more sinister, the more
newspapers sell. Can you tell what is fact and what is fiction these
days? Even the CIA and FBI were fooled on 9/11. Are you left or are you
right? Which is the honest and correct information? There are facts and
there are Conspiracy Theories, and there is propaganda and there is
stuff you find here, i.e. s***.
1. Special interest groups
"The ad campaign[against the Clintion health plan] was false, but it
was working. In fact, a Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, published March
10 in an article titled "Many Don't Realize It's The Clinton Plan They
Like," show that when people were asked about our[Clinton's] health
plan, a majority oppose it. But when asked about what they wanted in a
health plan, the major provision that were actually in our [Clinton's]
plan were all supported by more than 60 percent of the people. The
article said, "When the group is read a description of the Clinton
bill without identifying it as the President's plan and of the four
other leading proposal in Congress, the Clinton plan is the first
choice of everyone in the room.
The poll authors, the Republican and one Democrat, are quoted as
saying, "The White House should find this both satisfying and
sobering. Satifying because the basic ideas which they have drawn up
are the right ideas in the view of many people. But sobering because
they clearly have communicated very little to the public and in the
that respect have ceded too much to the interest groups."

2. Besides outright lying, the media use exaggeration to boost their
sale.
Such exaggerations are often harzardous to the health according to
Richard Restak
"But the media is probably the greatest contributor to
anxiety to our culture. In his book, "THE CULTURE OF FEAR",
sociologist Barry Glassner observed that "any analysis of
the culture of fear that ignores the media would be patantly
incomplete, and of the several institutions culpable of creating
and sustaining fears the news media are arguable first among
equals." And while Glassner wrote about "fear", his
observations are actually more descriptive of anxiety.
Certainly, on our local and national news programs, crime and
disasters make up by far the greatest portion of the broadcast.
Nor are the newsmagazines any different. They adhere to the
operating principle that we live in the midst of untold number
of threats to our physical and mental health. As Glassner put
it, "the guiding principle seems to be that no danger is too
small to magnify into a national nightmare."
"In short, in order to sell newspapers, boost TV ratings, or
peddle commercial products, it helps to create anxiety in readers,
viewers, and purchasers."
"Like an epidemic, an infodemic results in widespread dissemination;
but with an infodemic, the "organism" misinformation---isolated
facts mixed with speculation and rumor anxious relayed worldwide via
the instant communication made possible by the internet, laptops,
wireless, pages, faxes, and email."
