I will repeat yet again. I forward articles that  are intended to  
inform and often to inform readers of opinions that I disagree with  
but others will believe.

Dave, that is one of the most ignorant and absurd articles I have read  
in a long time.  Really surprised you forwarded it on.. I actually  
find it very offensive and fascist.  For example, the 1930's  
propaganda machine was effective because it was state controlled  
media, squashing (almost) all dissent very effectively. Nazi access to  
mass media (beyond printing presses) wasnt really available until they  
had become the state.  Not because of unregulated, open mass  
communications.  That is horse dung and incredibly ignorant.
