Comment in question 09-12-2007 05:53 Innocence. moonlitwine's observation seems to reveal much with few words. 'Of course, when Americans listen only to Americans, our views are very shallow. The administration is very good at spinning. How do we shake our neighbors, friends and relatives out of our false sense of innocence. We have too much blood on our hands. It's like a western movie, where the anti-hero wins only because he is good at killing, not because he is in the right'. There is a technique used by politicians especially, I not sure of its name, not my area. But it is the use of key words: Our Great Land, We stand For Freedom, God Bless America, Our Great Forefathers, Let us show the World the Way, blah, blah, etc. In Australia we have our spin doctors, they use phrases like mateship, the Anzac tradition, stuff like that. When I hear Aussie politician spinning that garbage it gets my back up. But I have to hand it to the good ol USA when it comes to spinning umbala, (you work that out), your crowd takes the biscuit. The serious point is people appear to have stopped thinking, they seem to have been mesmerized by political wizardry. What I wonder will wake them up? Mike Registered |
