Bishop: You touched on some very important issues that are being overlooked by the media reporting -- but I am not surprised.

The media talking heads have less of an education than the general populous, most of them majoring in "communications"... that reminds me of the "humanities"...

The entire populous has been "dumbded down" to a state of oblivion as far as education goes. Economics is a lost philosophy, not only does the current "citizen" not understand it, but I would wager that there are few remaining who would be competent to instruct in the study.

All of those "Mergers" have been effected by laws passed since the Clinton administration has come into effect -- they have had more than adequate assistance from the Republicans, so there is plenty of "credit" to go around. The communications act of 1996 was yet another boondoggle that has been effecting the likes of the OCTOPUS companies and their final CONTROL over the globe has yet to be realized (there have been several articles on this board which are informative on the subject however)...

The die has been cast -- King Clinton will enact those "agreements" that will pad his bank account with the most money in "under the table deals" and the Republicans and Democrats in Congress will pick up the "morsels" and place them in their own cupboards.

They could care less about the future generations of this country -- either because they are so greedy and ignorant that they actually believe that they can "cash in" now and them and their off-spring will be immune (because of promises)... or are so ill informed that they actually believe the propaganda that selling the country at a scrap sale is in the "best interest" of the country -- If you have ever attempted communicating with one of them, you know what it is like talking with a ZOMBIE.
