The good news about today is how much more investigation there is into everything that happens! The connectivity is wonderful! Look at the revolution in Iran recently! They asked Twitter not to shut down for routine maintenance to help the revolutionaries. Amazing! Laura Lee Lia:

But there is something that bothers me. He finally broke with form and gave his opinion on the Viet Nam war, thank goodness. But where, then, was the investigative journalism that would have unearthed and shed light on all the lies the government was perpetrating? The connectivity today gives us more accessibility to diverse information. However, we still have to filter all that information through our personal prejudices and lenses to find the "truth."

Those who think, live and represent violence control the news and the stock market. The U. S. is devoted to using others and crowding each other out. This is today the American way. Love dad Hello Laura,

Yours is a wonderful statement describing a time in our nations history that is long gone. Those who think, live and represent violence control the news and the stock market. The U. S. is devoted to using others and crowding each other out. This is today the American way.

Love

dad
