what is going on?

[curmugeon]

Seems that the corporate political machines are good at one thing. They lie.. a lot. They play on fear... fear of a shrinking economy, fear of the loss of freedom, fear of government. If this is a measure of the intelligence of the electorate maybe we need an intelligence test for voters. We don't need to be governed by the ignorant masses. We have over the course of history had dark ages, but foresee the coming of another dark age.... let's pray for the coming of a new age on enlightenment.
