It's just like the law they were supposed to pass concerning flag
desecration. Or the law they were supposed to pass dealing with the
issue of gay marriage. It's all a crock. They're only in it for
themselves. And they know that in order to keep their jobs, they have
to put forth a little effort in the direction of their constituency
once in a while (ever notice how they're really out there near
election time?). Most of it ends up being lip-service. Like the flag
things. They know that they can get away with it because it won't be
too long before a new 'outrage' comes along that we all will have to
deal with. They know too that most people get their news from a mass
media who quits reporting on a story just as soon as the scandal has
worn off (or a new outrage comes along). Then we never hear of it
again unless it somehow reaches outrage status once again. Not to
mention, most people can't remember anything further back than a
couple of incidents, and they know this as well.
Following politics in this country is like keeping up with
'Professional' Wrestling or a soap opera. You can drop it for a year
and then tune back in again, and you haven't missed a thing. The
politicians control everything. If only one plane had struck the WTC,
they would have covered it all up. They just couldn't deal with that
second one. That's all. They needed to "fool all the people all of the
time" on that one and they knew they just couldn't do it. Evil
bastards. The closest that America has ever been to knowing what is
actually going on was when Kennedy was assassinated. They had to
surface momentarily to deal with that, so we can catch little glimpses
of the huge submerged part of the Iceberg if we don't blink.
 I don't spend a moment watching the TV news anymore. Screw 'em. I
just live my life the best I can and try to buy American. If I can
find anything made here anymore, that is...
